Sensitive means to have sense of feeling. If you have sensitive hearing, it means that you have an acute sense of hearing. Sensitive can also mean touchy or responsive. My eyes were sensitive to light because I had a headache. Sensible means capable of being perceived by the senses; apprehensible through the bodily organs; perceptible to the mind; making an impression upon the sense, reason, or understanding. There was a sensible feeling of fear in the air. Sensible can also mean perceiving or having perception, either by the senses or the mind; cognizant; perceiving so clearly as to be convinced. We call a man sensible whose judgments and conduct are marked and governed by sound judgment or good common sense. Use your head and do the sensible thing.
