I have something "on my mind" or "in my mind"?

Please check.

 

[tufguy]

I have something on my mind. I am distracted, concerned.
I have something in mind. I have a plan.

I have this problem on my mind.

I have this plan in my mind.

Are these correct?

 

[tufguy]

You have on your mind that you will get scolded that is why you are tensed.

You have in your mind that you will get money that is why you are happy.

Are these sentences correct as well?

 

[tedmc]

tufguy
Those are run-on sentences. You need a semi-colon or full-stop before 'that' to separate them.
"Tense" is an adjective by itself.

 

[tufguy]

You have on your mind. That you will get scolded that is why you are tense. (Google shows that "tense" is a verb as well. Is it wrong to say "why are you getting tensed or she was very tensed?)

You have in your mind. That you will get money that is why you are happy.

 

[Tdol]

These last examples are all over the place grammatically.

 

[tedmc]

You have on your mind. That you will get scolded that is why you are tense. (Google shows that "tense" is a verb as well. Is it wrong to say "why are you getting tensed or she was very tensed?)

You have in your mind. That you will get money that is why you are happy.

You have put the full-stops at the wrong place. I meant it to be before the second "that".

Please explain me about "tense" as well. (Google shows that "tense" is a verb as well. Is it wrong to say "why are you getting tensed or she was very tensed?)

"Tense" is a verb in "I have to tense my muscles before lifting heavy weights".
"Tense" is an adjective in "What's wrong? You look very tense".

 

[tedmc]

"Tensed" is a verb, the past tense of "tense".
It is not an adjective as you thought.
The other word is "mature", which is both a verb and an adjective.

 

[tzfujimino]

I think the word 'tensed' can be a participle adjective, as in the fixed expression "be/get tensed up".

 

[tedmc]

Yes, but it is not an adjective by itself.

 

[tufguy]

"Tensed" is a verb, the past tense of "tense".
It is not an adjective as you thought.
The other word is "mature", which is both a verb and an adjective.

So, is it correct to say "why are you getting tensed?"

 

[GoesStation]

So, is it correct to say "why are you getting tensed?"

No. Although tensed exists as an adjective, it's not used like that. The usual adjective form is tense.

A muscle could be described as tensed, but it would be rare to describe a person that way.

So, can we say "he is tense" or "he was very tense" or "you are looking tense" or "why are you getting tense"?

"He tensed his muscles". Is it correct as well?

 

[emsr2d2]

So, can we say "He is tense"​, [STRIKE]or[/STRIKE] "He was very tense", [STRIKE]or[/STRIKE] "You are looking tense" or "Why are you getting tense?"?

"He tensed his muscles". Is it correct as well?
