Activities
- You can say 'come to Paris'. 'Come' expresses movement to someone's location. You can tell someone who's already in Paris that you will come to Paris, and they can tell you to come to Paris. However, once you are in Paris, you have arrived in Paris, as you are now located there. 'Arrive' expresses a change in location, so you 'arrive in Paris', whereas 'come' expresses journey to that location, so you 'come to' rather than 'come in'.0 votedApril 19, 20173
- Often they can both be used, especially in spoken English. However, in this case 'when' is more ambiguous without more context. If the sentence was 'this is not euthanasia, where a doctor gives a patient a lethal injection', it clearly means that if a doctor gives a pateient a lethal injection, then that is euthanasia. With 'when', though, it probably means the same thing BUT it could also mean 'when a doctor gives a patient an injection, it is not euthanasia (completely the opposite). To clarify, we would need to know a little more of what was said before and after.0 votedApril 19, 20173
- 'Realized' suggests you suddenly became aware of it, or you were confused about what was happening until you worked it out - you had passed several stops and then were suddenly surprised to find you had been going the wrong way. 'Recognized' sounds a little wrong here, as it suggests more careful consideration of the situation before coming to a reasoned conclusion. Hope this helps!0 votedApril 14, 20170
