festival vs cerebration, near vs nearby vs next vs by, briefly vs abbreviation #1 (permalink) Wed Dec 30, 2009 20:24 pm   festival vs cerebration, near vs nearby vs next vs by, briefly vs abbreviation
 

Hi every body , how are u? I hope every thing is good :)

Who can tell me the difference(why we used difference and did n`t use different) between :

1-Party , festival and cerebration .

2-near , nearby , next and by .

3-briefly and abbreviation .

-----

why we used word(whole) to answer about this Q (I want you to tell me the whole truth.) and did not use (all).

-----

when can we use v+ing after the preposition(To) ex : I`m looking forward to working with U.

-----
How can I read the last part in this word (superstitious) it`s look like (serious) or (station)?
-----



Thank U in advance : )

Please note the spelling of the word 'everybody'. The word 'u' does not exist in English. 'U' is a letter, not a word. Please note the spelling of the word 'everything'.

The difference is a noun while 'different' is an adjective. Any dictionary will give you this information within seconds.

The word 'cerebration' does not exist. You probably mean 'celebration'? You need to see those words in context to understand how exactly they are used.

Some of these words are adjectives, some are adverbs and some are prepositions. Check your dictionary for more information.

Briefly is an adverb while 'abbreviation' is a noun.

This has been discussed at length: Expression "The whole truth"

This has been discussed at length here: Look forward to hear from you? Again, the word 'U' does not exist in English.

TOEIC listening, question-response: We're not going to play today, are we?
