PAIN

Thanks for all the reply for the above. Yet I still have some confusion. How to use the word "pain" and "painful". I need an example sentense then I will understand how to use. My intention to join this forum is how to speak proper english.

Now, i will change my future sentense to " My hand is hurt" instead of "My hand is painful".

Thank you for the assistance.
