Grammar
aim, assure and ensure
A. Is The talks are aiming at a compromise the same as The talks are aimed at a compromise? If not, could you please explain the differences between them?
B. Does assure have the same meaning as ensure? I looked them up in the dictionary, they both mean "make certain." Are they always interchangeable? Somehow I feel that there's still a subtle difference between them.
Thanks for taking the time to answering my questions.
