Afraidin scaredimajo podoben pomen, vendar so njihove uporabe nekoliko drugačne. Afraidpomeni strah, oklevanje, zaskrbljenost in tesnobo, medtem ko scaredpomeni biti v stanju strahu, napetosti ali skrajne panike. Primer: I am scared of dogs. (bojim se psov.) Primer: I am afraid of disappointing the people who believe in me. (bojim se, da bom razočaral ljudi, ki verjamejo vame) Tudi slovnica je nekoliko drugačna. Scared pogosto sledijo by, ne pa afraid. Primer: She was scared by the loud noise. (prestrašili so jo glasni zvoki) Primer: She is afraid of loud noises. (boji se glasnih zvokov)
