what is the different between two verb: pack and package?
Pack (verb): to put/load something into a box (for example).
“We packed everything into boxes and then moved them onto the loading truck.”
Package (noun): a package that has come through the mail system; often the contents of a package are unknown.
Package is usually used as a noun; whereas, pack is often used as a verb.
“I ordered an item on Ebay, and I’m still waiting for the package to arrive.”
Just as a quick note:
Sometimes, ‘package’ is used as a verb as well. But, it’s more often used as a noun.
For example: “The cable company packaged/bundled all of their services (cable, Internet and telephone) into one complete service on the monthly bills.”
Sometimes, people also use ‘package’ as a verb when talking about software.
It’s used as a verb when you combine several things into one product/unit etc.
