difference between have a look and take a look

What is the difference between 'take a look' and 'have a look' in English?

answer:

There is no fundamental difference in meaning, but 'take a look' can have a very slightly more informal/casual usage than 'have a look'. 

Examples:

2. School friend to school friend: "Hey! Take a look at that new teacher's car!" 

difference between sick and ill

SICK and ILL

Both of these words are most commonly used as adjectives, as in:

I feel sick.

Ed had to leave school early because he was ill.

In American English, these two words have more or less the same meaning – they refer to a feeling of being unwell, whatever the problem might be. On the other hand, in British English, they have more distinct (ялгаатай ) meanings. Sick most commonly refers to feeling as if you are going to vomit (бөөлжис ), as in:

I think I’m going to be sick.

…while ill refers to any other feeling of being unwell. However, there are some phrases which are commonly used where sick has a more general meaning. For example:

I’ve been off sick for ten days – meaning I haven’t been to work/school for ten days because I’ve been feeling unwell.

Sick can also be used as a noun to refer to vomit. For example:

If you have children, you can be sure that you will have to clear up some sick at least once during their childhood.

difference between next and following

hi,

thank you for your helpI would like to know if there is a difference in meaning between the next and the following like in:the following chapter/ the next chapter; the next month/ the following month.

• Grammar Geek:
  When you use "the" there's no difference.
  
  The difference would be using "next" without the "the."
  
  If I say "next month" I mean August. However, I can be talking about something that will happen in September, and then say "the next month" or "the following month" to mean October, and those to expressions mean the same thing.

is there any difference between "next", "following" and ''subsequent'?

• Yes:
  
  • Next means the one that comes after, like a train, a show, an act in a play, a step in a process, an opportunity;
  • Following refers to the next one after a specific time, place or physical marker: "We arrived on the 3pm train, and my brother arrived on the following train." [the train after the 3pm train specifically]. "Her father came from the war in 1963 and died the following year." [the year after 1963].
  • Following also introduces text or speech or a list: "Read the following paragraph" "Answer the following questions" "He told me the following: ... " "Please read the following books: ..."
  • Subsequent means the one or the ones that follow or result from something: "You should study my response and all subsequent responses from native speakers." [= all the responses that follow mine]

Difference between "miss" and "skip"?

I was practicing writing in English and I tried to write

As a result, I skipped my morning classes.

but I know I can use "missed" instead of "skipped"

and now I wonder the difference between two.

• Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

  Using "skipped" would suggest that you purposely missed your classes. That may not be the case, but that's how most people would understand it. "Missed" could mean that you weren't there for any number of reasons, like you were busy, sick, or your car broke down. Hope I helped!

difference between complete and finish

• There is no difference, "complete" is one of the definitions of finish. The only difference is "complete" sounds slightly more formal and sophisticated, and you would usually use it to say things like "I completed the task"; you would usually say "I finished the race" instead of completed, although you can switch them if you want pretty much in every case.

• i ll explain in this way..
  "When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. But, when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!"
  
  
• Complete and Finish are two words that are often confused due to the appearing similarity between their meanings. There is of course some difference between their connotations. Hence it is not correct to interchange them. The word ‘complete’ is used in the sense of ‘entire’ or ‘total’. On the other hand, the word ‘finish’ is usually used in the sense of ‘conclude’ or ‘end’. This is the main difference between the two words.
  The word ‘complete’ is used as a verb, and in the sense of ‘to do entirely’. On the other hand, the word ‘finish’ is also used as a verb, and it is used in the sense of ‘come to an end’. It is interesting to note that the word ‘complete’ when used as an adjective gives the sense of ‘entire’ or ‘total’ as in the sentences,
  1. The complete work was done by the team.
  2. Francis read the complete book.
  In both the sentences the word ‘complete’ is used as an adjective and hence, the meaning of the first sentence would be ‘the entire work was done by the team’, and the meaning of the second sentence would be ‘Francis read the entire book’. Observe the two sentences wherein the word ‘complete’ is used as a verb.
  1. The work was completed by Angela quickly.
  2. Robert could not complete the work in time.
  In both the sentences, the word ‘complete’ is used as a verb and hence, the meaning of the first sentence would be ‘the work was done entirely by Angela quickly’, and the meaning of the second sentence would be ‘Robert could not do the work entirely, in time’.
  Take a look at the following sentences to understand the usage of the word ‘finish’.
  1. The story finished well indeed.
  2. How are you going to finish the play?
  In both the sentences, the word ‘finish’ is used as a verb and hence, the meaning of the first sentence would be ‘the story ended well indeed’, and the meaning of the second sentence would be ‘how are you going to conclude the play?” It is interesting to note that the word ‘finish’ at times can be used as a noun too as in the examples,
  1. The runner hit the finish in record time.
  2. The movie had a great finish.
  In both the sentences, the word ‘finish’ is used as a noun.
