Work out, sort out, solve

Pamela81please confirm I can use all three verbs in the sentence:
"we are trying to sort out this problem"

Yes, you can use these verbs.

But you should know that:

to solve a problem = to find a solution or an answer to it.

to sort out a problem = to do what is necessary to solve the problem.

to work

Dear Skif,

thanks! That´s really crazy, so small is the difference... so I can say:

"I hope to solve the situation" means that the problem is not yet solved

"I m working it out" means that the problem is still there but I m trying or making something to solve it

"I m trying to sort it out" same as "work out"

Am I right?

Pamela81"I m trying to sort it out" same as "work out"

As for me you are right.

Great!

Thanks a lot

Hope it helps

Dear Iman,

thanks.

I would need some sentence like example....

"to resolve" is like "to solve"?

"to puzzle out" is like "to discover"?

"to straighten out" I don´t know!

"to figure out" is it "to understand" ?

Thanks

Pamela

Yes, we can use all three of them.

Dear pamela,

You can substitute all of the given words for eachother.But remember that we have rarely words which precisely has the same meaning.They're just near to eachother.
