اغلب اشتباه گرفته میشود با
'Specify' is the verb (the action of naming details), while 'specific' is the adjective (the quality of being detailed).
'Special' implies uniqueness or importance, whereas 'specify' refers to the act of being precise or explicit.
نکات کاربردی
Specify is frequently used in technical, legal, and formal writing to ensure there is no misunderstanding regarding rules or choices. It is often followed by a 'that' clause or a 'wh-' word like 'what', 'how', or 'when'.
اشتباهات رایج
Learners often use the adjective 'specific' in place of the verb 'specify' (e.g., saying 'Please specific the time' instead of 'Please specify the time'). Another mistake is forgetting the 'that' when specify is followed by a full sentence.
