- Hinder and inhibit are very similar words in terms of their meaning, however there is a slight difference. Inhibit means that to stop an action or forbid an action from taking place. For example, one could "Medication was prescribed to the patient to inhibit the growth of any bacteria". As you can see here, the word inhibit suggests that the medication stops an action - which in this case is the growth of bacteria. Hinder means to cause a delay, to interrupt, to make difficult to accomplish. Thus this word suggests that the action being hindered was in fact completed at some point but that it was very challenging to do. For example, one could say "If you do not get enough sleep, you will hinder the progress you've made in school". Using the word "hinder" here suggests that you will continue to make progress in school even if you have not had enough sleep BUT the lack of sleep may result delay your progress. However, the differences between these two words are small so if you make a mistake, it really isn't at all a big deal. And, as a native English speaker, I can say for certain that the vast majority of people do not use these two words in casual conversations.0 votedJuly 22, 20190
- Problems on Mars <em style="color: rgb(153, 51, 255);">(This title I think would flow a bit better than Mars' Problems :) ) </em>*I would like you to fix these sentences! Thank you!*There is a significant difference in temperature. <em style="color: rgb(153, 51, 255);">By writing the phrase this way, it sounds a bit more formal. Using the world significant stresses that fact that the difference in temperature is far too great to be a hospitable planet. </em>The soil on Mars soil contains perchlorate, which is a toxic substance.Due to the thin atmosphere, cosmic rays may reach Mars' surface.The lack of an ozone layer would lead to UV exposure.Mars' atmosphere concentration is low and 95% of the atmosphere is composed of CO2, hence there is very little oxygen available.0 votedJuly 8, 20190
- It is technically correct but it does not sound natural. I would say instead "I doubt that anyone likes being stuck in a traffic jam." As a native Anglophone, this is definately something I would say and I am sure if you said it like this, you would sound closer to a native speaker.0 votedNovember 4, 20181
- Sorry I've been busy - this suggests that you are still busy. Sorry I was busy - this suggests that you are no longer busy. And couldn't get your message back - this part of the sentence is not clear and does not sound natural to a native anglophone. In lieu of saying this, I would say , " and I was unable to message you back" or "and I just couldn't find the time to message you back".0 votedNovember 3, 20180

- You are kind of missing the point -- --
- This expression means that you are not understanding the main objective of a discussion. To be it simply, it is another way for someone to say that you do not understand what is being said.
let's hear some examples before my legs turn to jelly --
In order to understand the phrase you posted, it would be helpful to understand the context. Generally the expression "to turn [some limb] to jelly" means that that particular limp or set of limps are fatigued . Since I do not know the context of this phrase, it is difficult to provide you with a clear definition of the phrase. Despite the lack of context, generally this phrase would be said in a situation where two or more people are in discusion and also the use of the expression <em>before my legs turn to jelly </em>suggests the people are in a standing position. Maybe Person A brought up a point and Person B wanted Person A to provide him with examples to illustrate this point. There may have been a long pause and so Person B stated that he wanted Person A to provide examples before his legs turned to jelly.
All in all, these two phrases that you provided are used in different contexts and also have entirely different meanings - to the point where the signification of the two phrases are not the same in the least.
I hope fhis explaination helped

- Although one could say this sentence is grammatically correct, it would be wise to reword the sentence in order to ensure the sentence is clear and sounds "natural" to the ears of native anglophones.
