Hi FangFang
1) I'd say it's simply a matter of knowing usage and collocations. 2) The most typical antonyms: inner - outer internal - external (also: "outside", particularly in business)
Maybe Mr. Mic will have some additional input for you. :D

. No, Yankee covered it nicely. Internal accounting, internal auditing, external auditing-- these are collocations/phrases used in the financial field. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
