Thankful/Grateful/Appreciative
📗These words all indicate warm feelings or expressions of gratitude. Grateful and thankful are close in meaning, but one distinction is commonly observed in that grateful is used to describe our feelings of gratitude to another person, and thankful refers to similar feelings towards divine providence, fate, or some less immediate agency. One is grateful for a gift or a kind word, but thankful for good health or fair weather.
📓Appreciative, more than the other two words, indicates a demonstration of the gratitude a person feels: a secretary who was so appreciative of the opportunity for advancement offered to her that she worked overtime even when not asked to do so.

💎Chew vs Masticate💎
📗Chew and masticate are synonymous in designating a crushing or grinding with the teeth. The difference between the two words is that masticate, in addition to being more formal than chew, is said only in reference to food that is swallowed after the crushing or grinding action. One speaks, for example, of chewing gum but never of masticating it.

👁Expectation and reality👁
📓We use a past tense to refer to a belief that has just been shown to be true or false.
📘It's not as big as I expected. (NOT ... as I have expected.)
📙You're older than I thought. (NOT... than I have thought.)
📗But you promised ...! (NOT But you have promised....)

= Is some of the information useful? (I expect that part of it is.)
= Is any of the information useful? (I have no idea if it is useful or not.)
= Is some of the information useful? (I expect that part of it is.)
= Is any of the information useful? (I have no idea if it is useful or not.)
In Company with vs in the Company of
