Could someone please explain me the differences between some similar words?
Howdy,
Do these words mean exactly the same or are there differences between them? Could you please tell me what those differences are point by point?
1) comprehension/apprehension/understanding
2) evoke/induce/bring about
3) overwhelm/overpower
4) disquisition/thesis/essay/paper/treatise
5) mainly/predominantly
6) concept/idea/notion
Thank you.

The job you are asking us to do is far too laborious. Look up the words in an online dictionary for definitions and then google for sentences in which they are used. As a rule of thumb, there are extremely few words in any language that are exactly synonymous.

the thing is that I have three different dictionaries on my PC and I'm still not sure if there're some differences between those words or not... I don't knot if I chan interchange them or not...
