confident is the adjective, confidence is the noun. The adjective is correct because you are describing a person. If you said confidence, that would imply that the person = confidence, which is obviously not true.

confident is the adjective, confidence is the noun.

The adjective is correct because you are describing a person. If you said confidence, that would imply that the person = confidence, which is obviously not true.

An appropriate time to use a noun would be, "Learning English provides me with a lot of confidence."

Hope it helps,
