difference between sign in and sign up

Sign up means "to register; to create an account". In computing, sign in and
log in are synonyms. Both mean "to open a session with an account that is
already created". There is one difference: the derived noun login "a
username; a session under that username" exists, but there is no such noun
as *signin

Can/could vs. to be able to

But you should only use ‘was/were able to’ with action verbs to talk about an
ability related to a single event or incident in the past.
Examples:
I was able to surprise my teacher yesterday.
Don’t say: I could surprise my teacher yesterday.
We do not normally use could to say that you were able to do something on one particular
occasion. In this case, was / were able to is used.
We were able to find our way. (NOT We could find our way.)

You can use either ‘could’ or ‘was/were able to’ with some stative verbs (see, hear, feel, taste) to
discuss ability related to a single event or incident in the past.

Examples:
I was able to see the teacher well from my seat yesterday.
I could see the teacher well from my seat yesterday.

It is also okay to use ‘couldn’t’ or ‘wasn’t/weren’t able to’ for negative statements for both single
events and a long period of time in the past.

Examples:
I wasn’t able to surprise my teacher yesterday. or I was never able to surprise my teacher.
I couldn’t surprise my teacher yesterday. or I couldn’t ever surprise my teacher.
Plate and dish

A plate is a specific type of dish. A dish is generally something that food is eaten or served
from. A plate tends to refer specifically to a flat dish that is suitable for holding food that
does not have a high liquid content. The other common type of dish is a bowl.
They mean the same thing when referring to an item, a dish IS a plate, and a plate IS a
dish. However, a DISH can also mean a food, so “lasagna is a dish I like to make often for
my family” or “He’s bringing over a hot dish of stew for dinner”. So, a dish can also mean a
meal. But, a plate is always just a plate that you set food on and eat from.
- Significa "plato" y se refiere a cada una de las distintas partes en que divide una comida
(primer plato, segundo plato, etc.).
- También significa "curso".
· The dinner was excellent, especially the second course.
· There is salad for the first course.

Despite vs although
 ‘in spite of’, ‘despite’ and ‘although’ are all used to show contrast and are
used for the same meaning. The only difference is the way they are used;
the structure in which they are used.
‘in spite of’ and ‘despite’ are placed in front of a noun or pronoun:
 We had a great time in spite of the rain.
 We had a great time despite the rain.
 Despite studying very hard, he still didn’t pass the exam. ‘studying’ is
the noun form of the verb ‘study’
‘although’ is used in front of a subject and a verb:
 We had a great time although it rained.
 Although he studied very hard, he still didn’t pass the exam.
 If ‘in spite of’ and ‘despite’ are used in front of the phrase ‘the fact that’
then they can be used with a subject and a verb: In spite of the fact that
he studied very hard, he still didn’t pass the exam. Despite the fact that it
rained we still had a great time.
  ‘even though’ can be used the same way as ‘although’. For most native
speakers ‘even though’ is slightly stronger than ‘although’:
 Even though we were in a terrible hotel, we had a great
time.
Dispute-Debate
 a dispute is more of an argument. two people angry about something
are having a dispute.
 a debate is more logical with an attempt to convince others of your
point. debates are generally understood to be more polite and
informational and the people in a debate are trying to convince people
to take their side. Two people would debate the pros and cons of
something.

No vs Not
 "almost" and "nearly"
 And the difference turned out to be quite clear cut: the word
almost is "characteristically followed by adverbs (almost
certainly), adjectives (almost impossible), pronouns (almost
anything), and prepositions (almost by definition), while the
word nearly is equally characteristically followed by a number
(nearly 200 people)."
 Secondly, almost is never used with a negative: you could say
"A is almost as good as B" or "A is nearly as good as B."
However, "A is not almost as good as B" is not idiomatic----
you need to say "A is not nearly as good as B."
 Nearly is often used in the following construction: not nearly
as [adjective]
Example: He’s not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
 Principal diferencia
La principal diferencia entre NEARLY y ALMOST está en su uso.

 Be used to
Choose “be used to” to say you are accustomed to something, and so it
seems normal or usual. If you are used to something, it is not difficult, new or
strange.
In “be used to,” the verb “be” can take the present, past or future tense
(though future is less common). And the words “used to” are an adjective,
not a modal verb.
Earlier you heard the present tense “am” in my sentence “I am used to
waking at sunrise.” That means I am accustomed to it.
 But I've been going to this class for a year now. So I am used to waking
at sunrise.
 She doesn’t think Dami is strange. She is used to him.
 Look, the bird is frightened. It is not used to large crowds.

Get used to
And, finally, we have “get used to.”
Remember -- this phrase is related in meaning to “be used to.” The difference is that “get
used to” means someone is, was or will become accustomed to something. So, the verb
“get” in the phrase can take the present, past or future tense.
For example, I said this about Tania: “She is getting used to the early hours.” That means
she is becoming accustomed to being awake in the early morning.
The words “used to” in the phrase “get used to” are also an adjective.
Listen for the verb tense of “get” in the following examples. And take note that
nouns follow “get used to.”

But after a month of our new routine, she is getting used to the early hours.
I hated this haircut at first. But I got used to it. I like it now!
The baby will not get used to the new sitter. I think she misses her dad.
