There are some words, which have lexically the same meaning. But still they have difference between them. Such as “Invention” and “Discovery”.
Both the word mean ‘Find’. But ‘invention’ means that, someone has found or created a totally new object which had no existance in the world before it was created. Such as “Robot” is an invention. But ‘discovery’ means to find something in a new way which already has been created a long ago. As an example, to find the ruins of a civilization is discovery.
Some of the sentences have also different meaning like this. Such as, “I went to school” and “I went to the school”. ‘I went to school’ means I went to school as a student. But the other one means I went to school for some other work, but not as a student.
There are a large number of words and sentences like this. Do you know some of them? Share with me.
