Can you explain the difference and usage of the three words supply provide in a concise and clear wa

supply is "supply, supply" and the noun is "** product, supply, survival".

provide is "provide, supply, **".

I suggest that I remember the meaning of "supply" as much as it is, because this meaning is more unique.

The meaning of "provide" is similar to offer, which is more active.

supply is mostly used for periodic "supply", and is mostly used for the "supply" of a certain item, so as to distinguish it from provide.

And provide is "to provide" in the general sense of "to provide" multi-finger, person-to-person.

For example, "provide an opportunity", which is provided by the subject, is the subject's offer to others.

Another example is "the ** of electricity", to use supply, the power cannot be provided by itself, it can only be **.

You can use it in that sentence. But general supply is better used here. It is more common for supply to be followed by distant guests.

I will only speak as the verb "to provide" when speaking of their differences.

offer: The English interpretation is to present for acceptance or rejection, and the Chinese interpretation is: dedication, offer:

He offered me a job, but i didn't accept.

afford (vt."provide", "supply"; It can be used with a double object, which can only be used for abstract things, and can also specifically refer to economic ability, which means "supply", or can "pay" a certain amount of time, in this sense, it can only be followed by can or be able to. For example:

he afforded me an opportunity.He offered me an opportunity (implying that I accepted, as distinct from an offer). Examples of economic aspects:

i think i can afford this.I think I can afford it.

provide (vt."supply", "provide"; Refers specifically to the provision of something that is needed or useful. For example:

we provided them (with) board and lodging.We provide them with room and board.

supply (vt.) supply", "**"; supply and provide have similar meanings, both of which express "supply". However, when it comes to money, provide often contains the meaning of "free supply", and supply generally needs to be paid, and there can be no double object.

For example: cows supply us with milkThe cows provide us with milk.

we are well supplied with foods.Our food supply is plentiful.

offer also has the meaning of **, and the general subject is human.

1 can use offer, and the second electricity cannot use offer

Offer means "to offer, to offer, to present", which means to offer someone something that is acceptable or denied, such as help, service, or item, which may be requested by the other person or offered by oneself. For example: he offered me a job, but I didn't accept.

offer also means to offer.

Provide means "to provide, to provide, to equip, to prepare", emphasizing having foresight and preparing for something by means of storage or preparation to provide what is needed when needed. For example: we provided them (with) board and lodging

We provide them with room and board.

When it comes to money, provide often means "free supply", and supply generally needs to be paid.

supply means "supply, replenish, make up", and can also be used as a noun, meaning "supply (quantity), materials, inventory". For example: we are well supplied with foodsOur food supply is plentiful.

It can be used like this!!

Provide and offer are both "provide", but the ideograms are slightly different, and the specific differences are:

1. Provide refers to not actively and generously providing people or things with what is needed or useful, just as an obligation.

2. Offer is used to indicate that it actively provides services and work, and is subjectively voluntary.

1. Usage of offer:

offer is used as a verb to give or provide something, which can be followed by a double object, and if the double object is transposed, the preposition to lead to the indirect object. Indicates that the initiative is willing to do something, and then can be followed by the infinitive.

But not the gerund.

or a clause. Used as a noun to indicate the offer to give or offer something, it is usually followed by a phrasing or infinitive.

2. Usage of provide:

When provide is used as a transitive verb, it can mean to provide, provide, equip, and then it can be followed by a noun or pronoun as a simple object, and it can also be followed by a double object, and the common preposition for can lead to an indirect object, and the preposition with can also be used to lead to a direct object, sometimes with can be omitted.

The differences in the usage of offer and provide are: different meanings, different collocations, and different grammars.

First, the meaning is different.
