Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a gift and a present?
A “gift” and a “present” can mean that someone gives you something without expecting payment. However, a “gift” is usually more abstract in definition (i.e., “the gift of foresight”), while “present” is directly related to holidays and events (i.e., “birthday present”).
Is it correct to say she bought a gift for him?
Neither of these is a correct sentence, because neither is a sentence. A sentence is a complete thought. Either group of words is correct in the appropriate sentence, although, since most gifts are new, I would probably leave out “new. “ Each of the following sentences is correct: While she was in the department store, she bought a gift for him.
Ishe bought me a gift for my birthdaycorrect grammar?
With that out of the way, "He bought me a gift for my birthday" is perhaps more common, but that's not to say more correct. Using one tense over another is equally correct; they just express different shades of meaning. "He bought me a gift for my birthday" is clearly in the past tense.
