Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Lesson 381. The title of today's lesson is
-
the difference between ache, sore , and pain. Yeah. So sometimes I get students
-
ask me what's the difference between these three ? So let's take a look at the
-
note here. Let's start with ache. An ache is usually a continuous pain, often
-
connected to a part of the body. All right. so one of the key parts about ache is it's
-
usually continuous. It keeps lasting continuously for some period of time. And
-
it's kind of annoying in that sense. It also is like they said we often
-
associate it directly to a particular body part.
-
So generally aches are mild. Well they're still uncomfortable but you know, you
-
know, you're not rolling over in pain, usually. It's usually kind of bearable
-
but uncomfortable. But there could be some exceptions such as a toothache
-
which could be mild . It could be mild where you can kind of bear and maybe forget
-
about it for a while. But it could also be much more serious. We just can't take
-
it you got to go directly right to the dentist. So it go kind of both ways . Although
-
they tend to be more on the mild side. All right. A
-
common ache is like a stomach ache , Yeah which could be painful for a while. And
-
again it's continuous while it is lasting. A back ache, ear ache
-
headache, tooth ache, muscle ache etc. They are mostly physical, but one could suffer
-
from an emotional heartache. So you can have a heart ache too. Which is emotional.
-
Okay. And we have a couple of examples here. I had a headache which lasted for
-
two hours. So again this is stressing the continuous part. My tooth ache wouldn't
-
go away. It's also stressing the continuous part. So I had to go to a
-
dentist. Good. All right. Let's go right to sore.
-
Now sore is only a physical pain. Yeah. You cannot have a sore heart. We don't
-
say you have a sore heart. You can have a heart ache but not a sore heart. Okay.
-
Sore is also associated with a certain part of the body. Certain parts
-
of the body too. So there is a little bit of a connection
-
to ache in this regard. So but what are common ones we say ? We say you know, a
-
sore throat You could have a sore throat, sore gums, sore muscles, etc. These are
-
some of the most common ones. Sore parts of your body are generally mild
-
and are often due to ... well it could be an injury.
-
Yeah. Like sometimes you know, somebody might stub their toes They might be
-
walking and they hit something on (the Floor. )Ow, Ow ! Oh the foot and ... Yeah. It could be
-
and it could be you know, if it was a more serious injury and it may be sore
-
later on. You know, if it swells up. Okay. Infection or too much exercise. I'll get
-
back to that. Another part about sore is you tend to feel pain mostly when it's
-
touched or moved. All right. Yeah. We have to talk about this. I think like with a
-
sore throat , if you're not talking and you're not swallowing if you just like
-
lie down. You don't feel any pain. But when your throat is touched or moved or
-
something . That's when the you feel the pain. And it's, it's similar to some
-
of the other ones through. With the sore gums. Yeah. If you don't have anything in your
-
mouth or you're not talking where it's open too much you also don't really feel
-
pain. Again when it's touched or moved it's mostly when you feel it. Sore
-
muscles, again if you just lie down you don't move at all , maybe you might not be in
-
too much pain either. Okay, Good. Let's continue. Body parts could also be sore
-
due to an infection. You know , and will usually turn red swollen and be inflamed.
-
Yeah. Like for example , I think I had an ingrown toenail one time it got infected.
-
Yeah. The toe got red. Again most of the time you don't feel anything , but if it
-
banged into something. Oh, It got touched then that that's when you felt the pain
-
and yeah and that is that's another typical sign of sore. Usually it might
-
get swollen and inflamed. Yes. Let's continue. Pain
-
is a more general word to cover all types of discomfort. Okay.
-
Thus aches and sadness. Aches and soreness are types of pain in, in,
-
indirectly they are. However, we do use the word pain when we tend to use it for
-
a more deeper serious pain. You say oh it's really painful. Well I'm in pain
-
then you probably mean that you know the pain is a serious level. We .... aches and
-
soreness is actually a more bearable level. When we you know, we usually use
-
those words when we want... don't want to express that it's too bad. But again
-
uncomfortable when we say the word pain is usually we're really in pain. More
-
serious pain. All right, Let's continue. All right. We just got another couple of examples here.
-
The pain of childbirth is excruciating. Yeah. You know, most women will talk about
-
when they were giving birth, the pain that they went through is very almost
-
unbearable pain. So they'd probably use that. They would say pain. They wouldn't
-
say they had an ache, They wouldn't say it was sore.
-
I don't know later on maybe parts of their body might have been sore
-
afterwards from some of the process of giving childbirth. But during the labor
-
they don't call that sore or ache, that's pain. Okay. Good.
-
These cough drops can help my sore throat. Yeah so again. That's another one
-
with sore there. And we gave you a few of the with , with word ache up here.
-
Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope this was more helpful. So that now you can see a
-
little more of a difference of when we're more likely to use one than the
-
other. . Okay. Thank you for your time. The hope was useful bye-bye
