exRangerNovember 2018 In (American) English, the difference b/w these two forms is nearly nil, i.e., they mean (roughly) the same thing: an object -- a place, a person, and/or other object(s) -- is/are situated within close proximity to another object, again -- place, person, and/or other object(s). Is this helpful to you? |
TXNMSmurfNovember 2018 Also, in general, you use nearby on its own (as in "Yeah, that restaurant is nearby") while you use near with an object or noun clause (as in "That restaurant is near the other one" or "That restaurant is near where my friends live")
AmarillesNovember 2018 They mean the same thing. The difference is how the words are used. Their school is nearby. v.s Their school is near us/here/our house/etc. The sentence doesn't sound quite complete when saying "their school is near." |
