    Message from happybee posted on 26-12-2014 at 15:29:37 (D | E | F)
    Hello,
    Can you help me please?
    Is there any difference between "for instance" and "for example"?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hello ,
    At first sight , there is no difference between for example and for instance . Yet , I would say 'for example' is more common use than for instance , although they do mean the same thing .
    In the beginning , if you do Latin , you learn 'instare ' has become to insist . For instance might show you express yourself with more conviction . To give an example with some insistance .
    Knowing the two is good anyway , they can begin or finish a sentence . If they are somewhere about the middle of it , they both mean you are going to enumerate a precise number of similitudes .
    Therefore , you can diversify your ways of illustrating your explanations .
    Good night .
