Hello,
I think that there is not differences in their meaning, but there is an spelling. I think you have to spell the word different way depending where are you located. Example, if you are in USA you will have to spell the word color. If you are in England you will have to spell the word colour. I hope this help you a little.
Have a great day elliott |

| We use the word sink when we talk about something, and we use the word drown when we talk about people or animals. |

Hi Chinelo, There is no difference in meaning between "colour" and "color". They refer to the same thing. In British English, "colour" is used, but in American English, it is "color". |

Hi Kamber,
I think you are referring to the past participle of the verb 'have'. Why are you interested in that?

“Split Cherry Tree” by Author: Jesse Stuart
Dave and other 5 boys climbed up a little cherry tree when they saw a little lizard during a biology class field trip. They broke down the little cherry tree. The tree owner asked for 6 dollars for its compensation. Herbert, a professor of those boys for this biology class, made 5 boys pay their dollar. Herbert paid for Dave but punished him to stay 2 hours more for cleaning up the classroom after the school because Dave had no money to pay.
Dave came from a farming family. He was mainly helper for his farther for daily farm works. Staying late at school would make his farther work longer. Dave told his father that they had to have bugs, snakes, frogs and etc for the class’s subject. Dave’s father, Luster, got mad after he heard his story of staying late. He couldn’t understand why professor took boys to the field trip, and caught those animal seen anywhere at farm. He had been raised his son so hard and sent him to the high school, however, his son description about the field trip at school was far beyond his education experiences when he was young and then decided to inquiry the professor in the following day. He didn’t believe the school would do good for his son.
In the early morning, Dave was so reluctant to follow his father to high school because his father even took the gun with him! Professor got so surprised to meet Dave’s father but began to talk with him calmly. He explained that boys should be punished by claiming and breaking up the tree which had nothing to do for the biology subject. He paid the compensation for Dave while other paid for themselves. He explained that he wanted Dave to learn the responsibility of breaking up other property by cleaning the classroom after school. He used germ to introduce the science of biology. Catching snakes and other animal was to understand and study raising protozoa. After going over some lab works, Dave’s father began to relax and put down the gun humbly and understand what professor led students and his son to. He also realized that how important science it was which was different learning subject when he was young at his high school.
After back home from school, Dave’s father encouraged his son to learn more at school and even wanted his wife to learn science with him together.

| Amanda, what is the purpose of this story you posted? It contains many grammar mistakes and should not be taken as an example by learners. |
