Hi, guys! My native language is Russian, but I wanna speak English fluently. I've got a little question:what is the difference between 'understand' and 'stand'? I mean not 'being on two feet', but the meaning like in the sentence 'I cant stand his behavior'. Could you answer me??))))))thanx in advance))

Juen826June 2014 "can't stand" is a phrase used to indicate not liking something. For example, "I can't stand when it's too hot". It is not a common way of using the verb "stand". Used in that sentence, it takes the meaning of "to endure or tolerate". The word "stand" is not related to the word "understand". The word "understand" indicates comprehension of a concept. For example, "I understand English" |
