Hi LE
An apartment is a place to live and there is more than one apartment in a building. Depending on the size of the building, there could be just one apartment on each floor, or there could be many.
I believe the British would use the word 'flat' where an American would use the word 'apartment'. Do you understand the word 'flat'? . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

| An apartment is place you rent to live within a building. A condo is just like an apartment except you buy and own it. An apartment typically has one entry door, a living room, 1 or more bedroom(s), a bathroom and a kitchen. A floor may have many apartments. An apartment without a separate bedroom is usually called a Studio. |

Yes. I think British use the word "flat" for "apartment".
I still have one more doubt : I think, actually, one apartment or one flat means one single house in the building. Am I right? Please help me. _________________ Please let me know if I have made any mistakes in any of my sentences. |

Hi LE
To me a house is a free-standing building and an apartment is not. . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
