Difference between bereave and inconsolable #1 (permalink) Sat Apr 04, 2009 18:06 pm   Difference between bereave and inconsolable
 

Hi all,
I have 2 questions that I didn't find out their answers. And I need your help
Question1
What is the difference between bereave and inconsolable .Is it mean that s.o/s.body feels alone, hurt when they lost sth/s.o?
Question 2
The following sentence is wrong or right?
The boy is just learning to walk so he is always tumbling over the floor.

Because I knew that tumble means fall to the ground and if I can use the verb tumble in present continuous tense like that?

Thanks for your reply.But I think that you misunderstood my question 2. The verb tumble means fall to the ground and it is used in continuous tense in that sentence so I wonder it is right or wrong. I don't think "stumbling" is correct
