Difference between 1 - Adapt and Adopt
2 - Lay and Lied
3 - Rise and Arise 4 - Annual and Annal
5 - Except and Accept
Answers
Explanation:
1. Adept means "good at doing something." Adapt means "to change for a new situation." Adopt usually means "to take something legally as your own."
2. Lay means "to place something down flat," while lie means "to be in a flat position on a surface." The key difference is that lay is transitive and requires an object to act upon, and lie is intransitive, describing something moving on its own or already in position.
3. Rise and Arise are two intransitive verbs that are often misused by many people. The main difference between rise and arise is that rise means to move from a lower place to a higher place while arise means to come in to being.
4. An annal is a record of what has happened in a given year or the recording of one particular item in a chronicle. An annal is a record of what has happened in a given year or the recording of one particular item in a chronicle.
5. To accept is to receive, and except is to exclude, usually. Both are busy little words skipping around to different meanings, but they never run into each other. It's the verb form that confuses, and it's usually except when accept is wanted.
