With

You are speaking with fear.

You are speaking with nervous.

Are these sentence correct?

  

Top answer

The first one is grammatical; the second one is not. "Nervous" is an adjective, but even if you used the noun "nervousness", the second would still be unnatural. Try: You sound somewhat/a little/quite/very/really nervous.
