- These words are used in a number of ways. So again I agree with Eliot. However, I'll add a little bit. b-b-b-eki is correct about would being the past tense of will. But it is more than that. eg: "She said she would do it" (past tense) "She would look fat in that dress" (IF she put that dress on. So it's based on a condition.) "Would you do the washing please" (Request) "I would love to go back to Thailand" (Desire) "I would go to University if I were you" (opinion) You really could look up "could" and if I were you I would......0 votedDecember 22, 20110
- It will depend on how you are using it. eg: "I am used to better food than this." Or "I used to ride a bicycle." Another way to write these might be: "I would normally eat better food than this." And "In the past I rode a bicycle." In the first case it's a statement of a persons (or people) current situation based on the past. In the second it's a statement about the past and there are a great many ways to write it that are more informative. So a couple of quick examples might be: In the past Years ago When I was young Until (something) Before (something) "before the grass was green I...."0 votedDecember 22, 20110
- If I were very pedantic (and I am) I'd correct the second example to be: I don't have any money. So as Eliot alluded to, they are different ways of saying the same thing rather than an example of using the same words in a different order. If you were using the same words but changing the order then Eliot is correct. It matters.0 votedDecember 22, 20110
- Self-assurance is a confidence or belief in your own abilities or character. Confidence can be a belief in yourself or something else. eg: you can be confident that your pen will work. Or confident that your friend will help you. If you meant "what is the difference between self-assurance and self-confidence?" then yes, they are very similar. My take on it is that self-confidence is a feeling you will get if you are self-assured. But you can probably use them interchangeably.0 votedDecember 20, 20111
