Dear teachers,
Can you tell me if there is any differeence between "free from"&"free of"? and if any, what are they?
Also how to distinguish '' be conscious of","be aware of' &"realize"?
Thank you! |

Certainly in most cases, if not all cases, they are the same.

As in the previous question, I can't imagine a case where "be conscious of" is any different than "be aware of." "Realize" will sometimes be equivalent, but I doubt that it always will work. I don't know of any rules to help you know when it is the same, though. |
