>All of those words mean to use.
"The teachers were unable to utilize the new computers" means something different from "The teachers were unable to use the new computers"
- xdennis 3y agoSorry, but what is the difference? "To utilize" is literally defined as "to use".
- alasdair_ 3y ago"utilize" - the teacher wasn't able to use the computers for the intended purpose of teaching the children. "use" - the teacher was unable to operate the computer at all (maybe they couldn't use the mouse, for example).
- jmholla 3y agoNo part of your example indicated the intent was to use the computers to teach children. Teachers can teach adults and they can use computers to do other things. In your examples, excepting your hidden intent, they were synonyms. Do you have a better example demonstrating this?
