Thoughtful and considerate
Hi teachers,
If there a difference between "thoughtful" and "considerate"?
For example when you're sick, and your neighbor bring you some soup, would you say the lady is very thoughtful, or considerate?
Thank you.

Hi Clive,
I'm sorry but I don't understand. "sir" a gender address for male, and "miss" for female. We call our male teachers sir, female teachers miss. I heard this phrase used a lot by English speaking people.

Hi Clive,
Thank you for your insight. My last job I worked as a customer service representative would never allow us to just write, "Hi Clive", it had to be "Hi Mr. Clive". If it's a madam, we call her "Hi Ms. Kate". And every correspondent had be printed out and checked by him first before sending out. I think I'm just used to it. I won't call you sir, or madam to maybe AlpheccaStar

Hi,
'Clive' is fine.
Note this. Assume a person's name is 'John Smith'. If you want to say Mr, then -
Mr John is incorrect
Mr Smith is correct
