Please help
Hello,
Can someone please tell me what the difference is between these two sentences:
All houses on the street are blue.
All the houses on the street are blue.
My guess is the first sentence is more general, less demonstrative than the second sentence.
Finally. can someone help me understand the difference between being "covered in blood" versus being "covered with blood."
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with the aforementioned.
