2. I try not to stress out when things go wrong.

3. I try not to stressed when things go wrong.

4. I try not to stressed out when things go wrong.
---------------------
Are they all grammatical? What is the difference among them? •English - Writeacher, Monday, June 6, 2016 at 7:49pm
3 and 4 are incorrect.

1 is awkward.

2 is correct.

Thank you for your help.

3. I try not to be stressed when things go wrong.

4. I try not to be stressed out when things go wrong.
(Do you use #4 more frequently than #3?)

5. Driving in cities really stresses me (out).

Can we delete 'out' without changing the meaning?

Answer 1

Yes, "out" can either be there or not, and the meaning is the same.
