Here, 'interpose' cannot take the personal pronoun as an object. We interrupt a person, but we interpose a comment. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

An interruption stops a process (at least momentarily). Interference forces it to change force or direction. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
