Grammar Note
通常用作定语，也可作表语。
Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words end with the unstressed /ʃəl/ sound, making them look similar in spelling (-tial, -cial, -rial). However, their stressed vowels differ (e.g., /e/ in 'essential', /ə/ in 'potential'), so they do not rhyme with residential's stressed syllable /den/. They are useful for comparing the common spelling pattern but not sound matches.
Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 2，建议结合例句记忆，而不是只背中文释义。
