Hello everybody

What is the difference between:

1- I am greatly inspired by her.
2- I am greatly impressed by her.

Thanks in advance

Hi Tom

I would explain it this way:

You can be impressed by a person without necessarily being inspired.

But if someone inspires you, I think you would also be impressed by them.

Does that help at all?

Hi Tom,

Let's put it like this: you could be impressed by our site because you think it is very effective - you could be inspired by our site, which means you would then go on to be a brilliant speaker/writer of English.

Which one would you choose? I ask full of hope.

Alan

Dear Alan

I have already been tremendously INSPIRED by this site. The forum is extremely interesting and now I can sit at my computer for hours on end----and believe me, there is no exaggeration. JUST ONE QUESTION:

1:If I say I am inspired by Alan.(Is it a complete sentence? I mean to ask if it implies that I want to write material and help students as Alan does)
Again Thanks

Tom
