Hi, Without looking at all the dictionary meanings, here's generally how I think of these words. regulations - control (ie regulate) how things are done' eg You must submit your application with 3 copies, o later than 17 October. rules - more arbitrary decisions.

- rules - more arbitrary decisions.
- eg You must not smoke in this room eg 3 aces beats 3 kings in the card game of poker But, often, no real difference is intened when we use the above words.
- Consider also laws - these are backed by the authority of the state Clive
