Hi everybody #2 (permalink) Sat Jan 03, 2009 13:16 pm   Hi everybody
 

I think damage is just to harm something but not necessarily destroy it. To destroy something is to damage it so badly that it cannot be used or even exist again. So to destroy is stronger than to damage.

i agree with that , usually, we use damage rather than destroyed in our common useage, where when we say destroyed that means its totally damaged.
