who can help me distinguish the different between them and give me an example of the usage of these words.

In my dictionary 'near' and 'nearby' are categorized in both "adj. and adv." please give me an example of when do we use it as adj. and as adv.

Hello Schwartz,

The online version of the Cambridge Dictionary almost always provides multiple examples of how to use a word in a sentence.

near
nearby
