Hi this is Tutor Nick P and  this is Lesson 356. The title of today's lesson is the

difference between exhaustive and exhausting. All right. This is one where

情態助動詞 B1

students might mess up,  especially students of ESL.  English as a Second

Language. They're more likely to probably be using

exhausting when they're supposed to be using exhaustive. Okay. So let's take a

look at the note here. If something is exhaustive,  it is done in a complete and

thorough way. Yeah. So it's checked very carefully. Yeah it's done in a very

thorough way. Okay. Good.  If something is exhausting it makes you feel very tired

and drains all or most of your energy. So really there's quite a difference

between the two. All right. So let's look at some examples here. Of course with the

X this is where the student may make a mistake. So we see here with the X,  this

is wrong. That was an exhausting study they did on sleep disorders. No. If you

say it's an exhausting study,  it means the study made you tired. No. What they

really want to say here is that it  was an exhaustive study,  they did on sleep

disorders which means that it was a very thorough one. It was done in a very

complete way. They covered everything.  They didn't miss anything. Okay. Let's

take a look at the second one here. They compiled an exhausting list on all the

people involved in that scandal.  No. Again that would mean that the list made them

tired. They really mean that what they compiled was an exhaustive list on all the

people involved in that scandal. So exhaustive again means very thorough, very

complete. They didn't miss anything.  Okay. Good.  Now let's look at the third one

here. It took the police over a year to do an exhausting investigation on this

matter. Again the same thing. If you said exhausting, it means that investigation made

them tired , which is possible it might have done that too. But that's not what they

mean here in this sentence. They mean exhaustive. Meaning

it was a very thorough , very complete.  They made sure they got everything down.

They didn't miss anything.  All right. Good. And  of course let's

just end it by giving one example of exhausting. That long hike up of this

mountain was very exhausting . Meaning very tiring. It  really tired you out. Okay. Great. I

hope you got it. I  hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
