Two 'difference between' questions #1 (permalink) Sun Mar 16, 2008 23:21 pm   Two 'difference between' questions
 

Hi!

This is my first post and I want to say hello to everybody.
I have a few questions concerning English.

1. What's the difference between "here" and "in here"?
2. ...and difference between "all" and "entire"?

Hello, dama.

It depends on context, so it is seldom profitable to ask about differences in synonyms in general.

1-- 'Here' means 'at this place'; 'in here' means 'inside this place' or 'at this place inside'.
2-- The words appear in different structures, but generally, 'All' can be used for several things ('all people are crazy'); 'entire' means all of one thing ('my entire fortune is gone').
