Hi, I'm David from Spain

What are the differences between to trust and to rely?

Thanks in advance

[Alan]

Trust means have faith in/believe in someone or something and takes a direct object. Rely on means depend on and is used with the preposition on.

Is There any difference between " Trust" and " Believe"?

Thank for your help!

Why not confide?

[Alan]

Hi Babi,

'Confide' has the sense of taking someone into your confidence or telling them something private/confidential. After 'confide' you would use the preposition 'in' as in:

She was quite happy to confide in him and tell him her deepest secrets.
