Annie: Sure. Can you fill out this form, please? You’ll need your Social Security Number.
Nathan: No problem. Can I borrow a pen please?
Annie: Here it is. Do you currently have a driver's license and want to renew it, or is this your first?

Use and Usage - Often Confused Words in English


source: Twominute English    2013年11月21日
'Use' and 'Usage' are two words that overlap somewhat, but are not entirely synonymous. Such words leave people confused sometimes. 'Use' can be a noun or a verb, while the word "usage" is always a noun. In simple words it can be said that "use" is most commonly used to signify the act of using, whereas the word "usage" is used when we want to refer to a practice or habitual use of something. Listen to the conversations carefully and understand how the vocabulary is used. Practice at the end to build your fluency and comprehension.
