Usage of two words itchy and itching
I have learned that between runny nose / running nose, the first one runny nose is correct and today I have learned that itching and itchy are synonymous, so I am confused now. So runny and running are not synonymous but itching and itchy are synonymous? What do you native English speakers think?
My nose are itching / itchy.
I have a runny nose.
Thank you so much as always and have a good day.
My nose are itching / itchy.
