I am afraid that you may not have understood the difference between these two words. I am not afraid of snakes, but I really don't like them. A person can have fears but they express their fears by saying that they are afraid.

"I have fear" is technically correct but sounds very formal. I would suggest "I am fearful [of something]." "I have afraid" is not correct. The way to say it is "I am afraid [of something]." Also, when you write "i don't know which is the difference." it should be "I don't know what the difference is." You can say "I don't know which is correct."

I have fear. <- correct I have afraid. <- wrong because "fear" is a noun, while "afraid" is an "adjective" and you must use "to be" with it I'm afraid

"Fear" is a noun or verb. As a noun, it can be either countable or uncountable. "Afraid" is an adjective. Ex. All of the following are grammatically correct: I am afraid. I fear. I have (a) fear. "I have (a) fear" and "I fear" aren't really natural on their own. You could say the following: I'm afraid of bears. I fear bears. I have a fear of bears.

You would say "I have a fear of snakes " . You would have to add the word of . You could say "I am afraid" You would not say "I have afraid". Fear is something that you can have but afraid is a state of being. Fear can also be a verb. As in "I fear that winter will be very harsh".
