Hello, teachers!!
The boy was full of nervous energy.
----->
Would you tell me about the sentence above? I don't understand "nervous energy."
Thank you in advance. |

I might explain this as meaning that the boy was nervous, and as a result of that kind of energetic, not able to sit or stay still.
The energy he was exhibiting was a result of him feeling (or appearing to be) nervous.
Does that help?
