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: 

1. Patient to doctor: "Would you have a look at my throat, please Doctor? It's been sore for over a week now."
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 skip and miss

Hi,

Because I got up late, I missed breakfast.
Because I got up late, I skipped breakfast.
What is the difference between 'miss' and 'skip' here?

Thanks a lot.

• Because I got up late, I missed breakfast. You missed it, not by choice, by fact - you woke up too late.
  Because I got up late, I skipped breakfast. You decided not to have breakfast.

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 true and truth

• true can be used as adj.,adv. and n.  like Tell the truth
  but truth only can be used as n. This is true

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.
  
  

difference between end and finish

It is very simple
1) for human being that accomplished(амжилттай хийж дуусгах ) a task or an activity you have to use "finish", 
2 )for activities that have been accomplished you have to use "end"

e.g.

The game ended. -> the game is an activity and you have to use "end".

Tom finished homeworks -> Tom is a human being or person and he accomplished an activity "homeworks" so you have to use "finish"

difference between gift and present

• We usually say "Christmas presents."

         In most cases, they are interchangeable, but not always.

         For example, if you are really good at languages, I could say that you have a gift for
         languages. "Presents" would not work in that sentence.    
         Thinking about it in a way I've never done before, I guess a "present" is something you      
         present to someone, whereas a gift is something you give to them in any way. We say  
         that  you have a gift for languages because God gave you that ability, but He did not wrap  
         it up in something and present it to you. 

•  In most contexts, these two words can be used interchangeably.
  Example:
  birthday gift / birthday present
  wedding gift / wedding present
  Thanksgiving gift / Thanksgiving present
  Christmas gift / Christmas present

difference between mean and average

As far as everyday usage goes, both mean and average mean the same thing. Usually, in normal speech, we use the term 'average' much more than the term 'mean', which usually sounds more technical.

In statistics, average is used as a name for a general statistic that usually falls around the center of the data. Mean, on the other hand, is usually the sum of all values divided by the total number of values. But this itself applies only for arithmetic means. You can also have differently defined geometric and harmonic means.

difference between meal, food, dish

Some types of table: dining table, kitchen table, side table, coffee table, occasional table, trestle table etc.

different between find out and know

In English, we often have a separate word or expression to talk about the beginning of a situation. For example, first we PUT ON our clothes and then we WEAR them; first we GET a cold and then we HAVE the cold.
Another example of this is “find out” and “know”. First, we FIND OUT some information, and then we KNOW it. So when we talk about the first moment that we learn some information, we must use “find out”, but we can’t use “know” until afterwards. For example:
I found out about the terrorist attack when I watched the news report on TV. I was so shocked!
I knew about the terrorist attack before I watched the news because my friend had told me about it before.
Did you know that ABC Department Store is having a sale this weekend? I just found out today.
A: Did you know that Rachel is going to have a baby?
B: Yes, I know.
A: When did you find out?

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."

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

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?

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."
