difference between admit and concede and confess

Greetings from the US! Good Question!

To admit something is usually used when you've done something wrong! This is also true for confess. The two are generally interchangeable.

To concede is typically used in an arguments (not necessarily fights! ) To concede is to allow the other person a point. This is also known as making a consession. To describe it better, it is agreeing that something is common knowledge, a point that you are not arguing. For example:

Jack: "Tests shouldn't be given because they make students nervous!"

Jill: "I concede that tests make students nervous, but results show that students who are regularly tested do better."

May I borrow your question for an entry in my blog? Others would benefit from this being explained!

difference between Mrs and Ms and Miss

Women are getting more independent in these modern days so "Miss" means the woman is single, and "Ms." could be a single woman or a married woman. If you were to send a letter to someone and you weren't sure if the woman was married or not you would put "Ms. Smith." Also, some women today are also keeping their surnames after marriage (go by their surname and not their husbands last name) while others will link their surname with that of their new husbands. Eg: Her name is Smith and his is Johnson, so she'd go by "Mary Smith-Johnson." Some women will do this especially if they are in business.

some idea about especially and in particular

question
I know that "in particular" has the same meaning as "especially." Can you please explain the correct usage of each and the use of commas?

For example:
I like sweets; in particular, ice cream and chocolate.
I like sweets. In particular, ice cream and chocolate.

I like sweets, especially, ice cream and chocolate.

What's the difference between especially and in particular? Adverb vs. prepositon?

difference between Especially and Specially

Especially or Specially?

This is a favorite question of grammar checkers. Most of the time there is little or no difference between the words especially and specially.

Special is a common adjective. Specially is its adverb form. Special means "particular, distinguished in a distinct way, or designed for a particular purpose." Speciallymeans "particularly, in a disintguishing manner, or for a particular purpose."

Especial is an uncommon adjective. Especially, its adverb form, is much more common. Especial means "exceptional, noteworthy, or particular." Especially means "exceptionally, in a noteworthy manner, or particularly."

difference between choose and select

• In common usage, both 'choose' and 'select' are often interchanged. Yet in some contexts, this isn't possible. For example, when 'choose' has the sense of 'decide': In the end they chose not to go to the beach.
  
  Some say that one implies more thought than the other -- there seems to be a bit of disagreement on this. Also, 'choose' is more commonly used than 'select', which, in some contexts, might be slightly formal.

Difference between almost and nearly

Almost and nearly have similar meanings. They are both used to express ideas connected with progress, measurement or counting.

He slipped and almost fell to the ground. OR He slipped and nearly fell to the ground.
Dinner is almost / nearly ready. (= Dinner will soon be ready.)

Sometimes almost shows more ‘nearness’ than nearly.

Compare:

It is nearly 12 o’clock. (= perhaps 11.45)
It is almost 12 o’clock. (= perhaps 11.55)

difference between surprise and wonder

Good question! For me, awe is reserved for the biggest feelings one can have, usually related to nature or the magnitude of the universe. Looking at pictures from the Hubble telescope, for example, can inspire awe. Surprise happens much more frequently, and is characterized by the unexpected. The best way I can describe surprise is to say that it tickles my brain.  And, to me, wonder suggests curiosity. A strong desire to learn more about something.

difference between carry on, continue, and go on

• Both expressions mean the exact same thing in that you would be asking someone to continue speaking, whether they were interrupted by someone else ( for example, someone poking their head in to give a message or ask a question during a business meeting) or the speaker stopped (for example out of concern that there was no longer time to finish). In either case you could use informal expressions such as "go on" or "carry on" or a more formal, polite term such as "please continue". In a formal setting such as a business meeting it would be much more appropriate to say "please, continue" rather than "go on" or "carry on" which you would use informally with friends and family.  

difference between marriage and wedding

			wedding / wed A wedding is a marriage ceremony which is held in church or a registry office and also includes the party or special meal which follows the ceremony. All of this usually happens on your wedding day. There are a number of other wedding compounds that are associated with wedding day: The newlyweds had told everybody that they wanted no wedding presents as they were emigrating to Australia. The predominant colour at Sophie's wedding was creamy white. Her wedding dress was this colour and the icing on the three-tier wedding cake was this colour too. Is it true that in Britain you wear your wedding ring on the third finger of your left hand? A silver wedding is celebrated after 25 years of marriage and a golden wedding after 50 years.

			If you wed someone, you marry them, but wed is not used very much nowadays as a verb as it is rather old-fashioned. It can sound quite effective however, because it is unusual. Sometimes it has a poetic ring to it: We got wed soon after the baby was born. I shall never wed as I like to be independent.
