besides

Hi,

Is there any difference among these expressions 'in addition', 'besides', 'furthermore' and 'moreover'? E.g.

'I don't like the house; in addition/besides/furthermore/moreover, it is too expensive.'

Many thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your nice advice,Loui. Do you think my question is too stupid to ask? And do you think my qustion is too hard to answer? Because I am not a native speaker, it is very hard for me to choose right word in right situation, especially when they are synonymous.

No, not at all. I didn't say your question was stupid, but forget about that anyway, I guess you didn't understand me correctly. I think your question is an important one to all non-native speakers of English who are learning the language and want to be able to engage in everyday conversation. I hope our previous answers were somewhat helpful to you. Good luck!
