No, those two verbs don't have any meanings that are similar.

Hey Leith, No, they can not. These verbs are quite different from one another. I shall provide you an explanation over the difference between them as well as a set of examples to make it clearer for you. 1) ''Use'' is a general word referring to the application of something to a given purpose. ''Use'' may also imply that the thing is consumed or diminished in the process. E.g.: ''May I use your car?'' E.g.: ''He used up all his money.'' E.g.: ''She used her savings to buy a new computer.'' E.g.: ''I just used all the butter.'' 2) As for ''anticipate'', it means ''to see as a probable occurrence; expect''; ''to foresee and act in advance of (something).'' E.g.: ''He anticipated the fall in value by selling early. E.g.: ''She anticipated that it would happen.'' E.g.: ''I anticipated that you might be in a hurry.'' E.g.: ''This is much worse than I anticipated.'' Hope that helps!!!

An example of what you want to say would be helpful. Then we can see what your confusion is with these two verbs.
