Refresh freshen ,refreshing fresh
Urgent! Our teacher will test us their differentiation tomorrow.
The questions in the test has been deliberately designed to confuse us.
I still can not differentiate refresh and freshen, refreshing and fresh although I have looked up for my dictionary.
Can you elaborate the differiation between them to me?
Please tell me an easy rule to differentiate them if there are.
Besides that, I hope you can give me many examples.
great thanks in advance
