Question

What is the difference between sink and drown


And please report my old questions 5-6​

Answer 1

Answer:

Drowning is becoming dead because of inability to breathe, due to submersion of your head. Sinking is your body falling below the surface toward the bottom. Although one cannot sink without drowning, because as one goes under one's head is submerged; one can drown without sinking, as dead bodies often float.

Answer 2

Sink and drown are 2 English words that may look similar in meaning but have a great difference. Let's look deep into their meanings:

SINK

Human beings or any other living beings cannot sink. They have the capability to breathe. The verb sink is used with non - living objects that simply go beneath the water body. An inanimate object can sink but cannot drown

DROWN

The verb drown is used with living organisms when they go deep into a water body causing suffocation or even death. Living organisms can drown but cannot sink.
