Welcome back to ask Alicia the Weekly Siri's where you ask me questions and I answer them.

Maybe first question this week comes from Noura.

Diaz says, What's the difference between home and house?

The place where you maybe come back to at the end of every day is the place that you call your home.

Ah, House, on the other hand, is a type of building.

A house is not attached to anything else.

But ah, home does not necessarily have to be house.

So this for example, we cannot call a house if we returned here, though we could say this is my home or this is where I live If you wanted to tell your friend about your building but we would not say this is my house So when we want to talk about the place where we live, we can say This is my home But we only use house if it's specifically this type of building.

If it's specifically a standalone building, there is one other use of the word house that's much less common unless you watch like, really, really big epic stories.

So, for example, Game of Thrones has a really good example of this house.

Stark, for example, or house Plus, last name refers to all the family members that have that last name, and that means all the family members living or dead, so that can mean the ancestors of that family.

So in house Stark, for example, that means all of the family members in the stark family so alive, dead, whatever, everybody.

As I said, it may be more commonly used in like fantasy stories.

Game of Thrones is a great example of this, but we don't use this in everyday English today, so I hope that this helps your understanding of the differences between home and house.

Okay, let's move on to your next question.

What is the difference between to fill in and to fill out?

If you're talking about a form like paperwork and application, for example, then there is no difference between to fill in and to fill out.

Please fill in this form and please fill out this form.

They mean exactly the same thing, I would say, perhaps in, um, American English.

I think we use fill out more commonly in American English.

Fill in might be a little more commonly used in British English.

If, however, you are not talking about an application form or some other type of form, there are different meanings for fill in and fill out.

To fill in for someone means to act as a substitute for someone.

So if we can imagine we're at a rehearsal for a play, for example, you might say I filled in for a dancer who was injured, or we need someone to fill in for the lead role in today's rehearsal.

To fill in for someone means to act as a substitute for someone to fill in.

So this uses quite different from the meaning of writing something on a form.

Or let's contrast this rather with fill out to fill out means to get larger, usually as a person in terms of like your weight gain, so to fill out means your body or your face becomes larger so this can be used in positive and in negative situations.

For example, he was very sick last year, but he's recovering now and his face has filled out nicely or you filled out a lot since the last time I saw you.

So again, this use of fill out is quite different from the meaning of fill out that's relating to application forms and other types of writing.

So I hope that this answer helps you understand the differences between fill out and fill in.

Thanks very much for sending this question.

Hi, Eddie, Eddie says, Hey, Alicia, I am French and I have been learning English for a while.

Okay, basically, do not sounds more stiff and more formal than don't in everyday speech we use.

We use do not in more formal situations like when we're giving a speech, for example, Or perhaps when we're writing an academic paper when you want to sound more formal, more polite use.

You'll also see Do not use for official rules.

For example, Do not throw away trash here or do not smoke.

If you use do not in everyday conversation, it might sound kind of dramatic or maybe even mysterious.

So, for example, saying Do not be afraid.

But if we say don't be afraid, it sounds a little bit more friendly, so if you want to sound friendly and normal, please use the reduced form.

If you want to sound dramatic or if you need to sound more formal, please use do not.

In most cases, this means you should choose don't.

What's the difference between others and another's?

Okay, First, let's take a quick moment to review a past episode of Ask Alicia where I talked about a very similar question.

What's the difference between others, the others and another?

Okay, let's begin by introducing a sample situation.

So here I introduced other with my other sister.

In the second sentence here, I said, This is my sister.

Third sentence was this is my other sister.

So I introduced Sister in the first sentence.

Other than refers to like the addition to something that's already known.
