[Romashka]

Is the 'glazing' the synonim to 'staring' in this sentence or it has a little bit different inflection?

Thanks!

Hi Romashka,

'Glaze' is a word meaning putting glass in. We use this to describe windows that have a space between two panels of glass: double glazing.

Thank you Alan,
I have just realized that I had made a mistake, I wanted to compare 'glaring' and 'staring' :)

Hi Teachers

Does 'glare' have a touch of anger as opposed to 'stare' as in:
He glared at him accusingly.

Thanks

I didn't understand the meaning of "glaring" yet. Can you give more information

[Puppet]

Hollo,

Is the "glare" includes the anger? What's the difference between glare and gaze?

[Alan]

Hi,

'Glare at someone' suggests that you look at someone in a very angry way as in: She glared at him because he had made fun of her in front of her friends. 'Gaze at' has the sense of looking at someone/something with a feeling of respect or wonder as in: They got out of the car to gaze at the sight of the sun setting, which had never looked so beautiful.
