Hi Gabriel The tricky thing with English is that it can vary slightly from country to country who use it as their mother tongue. I'm from New Zealand and this is how we'd use the below: 1) Floor/Flooring. So a 'floor' is something that is already on the ground or bottom level. Flooring we generally refer to as specific material that makes a floor. "We are getting porcelain flooring for our room" This is referring more specifically to the type of floor covering/material you're getting for the floor in your room. "We are getting a porcelain tile floor for our room" This is referring to the entire floor itself. 2) Wood/Wooden. Typically 'wood' is referring the the material and 'wooden' is used to refer to something made from wood. Usually we would say "we have wooden floorboards", because "the floorboards are made of/from wood." Hope this helps :-) /Dan

What about "We are getting a new wood/wooden floor/flooring".. ? "We are getting a plywood/wood panel wall"?

2) And the difference between "wooden/wood floorboard", "wood/wooden veneer" , "wood/wooden panel" and "wood/wooden flooring"? And would you use wood or wooden here?

Please, I really need your help

Thank you

Surely wooden is correct because that's an adjective and you're gonna use a noun after that. About floor and flooring I'm not sure but both seem correct.
