Question
What’s the difference between ‘hear’ and ‘listen?
Advertisements
Solution
To 'hear' is the physical act of experiencing sound. It happens naturally and without conscious effort. To 'listen' is to pay deliberate attention to a sound. It's an intentional effort. When you listen to someone, you pay attention to their thoughts and emotions. However, you may not entirely focus on the speaker's sentiments or words when you hear them.
