[color=indigo]Dear to whom may it concern,
Would you please explain me that Can I substitute astonish instead astound each other? Are they of the same meaning and also the same usage?
With the best regard
Mitra
Mitra, I think that you have made some grammar mistakes in your sentences.
I also think that one of the possible ways could be as bellow
Would you please explain [color=green]to me [color=green]if the words astonish and astound [color=green]could substitute each other? Are they of the same meaning and also the same usage?
I, personally, don’t think that they could.
Dear E2e4,
Thank you very much indeed for correcting my grammar mistakes. It was a slip of the tongue.
Would you please clear it? (I mean about the words astonish and astound?)Astonish means surprise greatly, amaze and the definition of astound is astonish greatly. What is the difference between them and why cannot substitute each other?
Regards
Mitra
Hello Mitra,
It is often possible to substitute one word for the other. For example:
He was astonished at the state of the classroom. It should have been cleaned.
He was astounded at the state of the classroom. It should have been cleaned.
They completed an astounding amount of work in a short time.
They completed an astonishing amount of work in a short time.
The magician’s brilliance will astound you.
The magician’s brilliance will astonish you.
Would you please explain to me if the words ‘astonish’ and ‘astound’ can be substituted for each other.
Dear beeeesneeees,
A good teacher is a special blessing.
