SENSIBLE VS SENSITIVE
A 'sensible' person is able to make good judgements based on reason and experience rather than emotion. In other words, a 'sensible' person has 'common sense', and does not take stupid decisions. For instance,
-I think the sensible thing would be to take a taxi home.
-I want to buy that pen.~ Be sensible, friend. It's much too expensive.
-I think that's a very sensible idea.
-She gave me some very sensible advice.
On the other hand, a 'sensitive' person feels things easily or deeply, and may be easily hurt. Let's see some examples:
-Don't shout at her - she's very sensitive. ( NOT ... very sensible.)
-He's very sensitive about his weight.
-This movie may upset a sensitive child.
I hope the information was useful.
