Pergunta sobre Inglês (EUA)

Qual é a diferença entre grass e graze e range e feed e pasture ?Você pode indicar exemplo de resposta.

In dictionary, I find they all have something to do with taking care of livestock and animals. Are they really used quiet often? If they are, what’s the difference?

Sure! This can be a bit tricky to understand, but I'll try my best to explain the difference.

Grass is the plant that naturally grows everywhere. Typically cows or horses (but other livestock as well) will eat this.

Graze is what the animals do, as they move and eat the grass.

Pasture is another word for the land/area itself. It designates that space for only keeping/feeding the animals.

Feed has two meanings that I can think of.

1. It could be a mixture of different kinds of grain or seeds, specifically prepared for animals.

2. It also can be used colloquially, referring just to whatever the animals are eating.

You could also use it as a verb, which would be giving food to the animals since in most cases they might not be able to get enough to eat on their own.

Range could be two terms:

1. An older word, now known as a Ranch, which would be a farmer's home/land where he raises livestock and typically lives as well. (This is most commonly heard in an old American song "Home on the Range.")

2. The act of animals moving and grazing throughout the land.


I hope that helps clarify a bit, let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks!! One more question: Are ‘grass’ and ‘pasture’ OFTEN used as verbs, which is allowed in dictionary.

@BXy213

No, both are nouns and can't be used as a verb. You'll only ever see them used to describe like I mentioned above. Good question though!
