Difference between rate, change and fees

[Tung Quoc]

Dear teachers,

If I ask sb to remove the snow in front of my house in 5 days.
The price is:

3$/day.
In total: 15$/ 5 days.

So,3$ and 15$ are called fees or rate or change or fees?

What is the difference btw fees, rate , change , fees?

Thanks
Quoc

Hi Quoc,

I could recommend two books that you might find useful:

The Advanced Learner's Dictionary published by Oxford University Press, which not only defines words but also uses them in illustrative sentences.

Right Word Wrong Word by L G Alexander published by Longman. This books defines groups of related words and how each should be used.

Also, you wrote the numbers for the money wrong.

We don't write 3$ or 15$. The dollar sign must come BEFORE the number. The correct way to write this is $3 or $15. It's the same with every unit of currency: ?3, ?15, ?3, ?15, ?3000, ?15,000, etc.

Dear teacher,

Can I write: $15.000?
