Last week, someone asked me about the difference between alone and by myself. That’s a really great question because alone and by myself are very similar in meaning, but there is one key difference. So, for today’s English lesson, let’s have a look at these words, what they mean, and how you can use them in everyday English. We’ll also look at the idiom, to go it alone.
Here are the example sentences. To get the details of this English lesson, you need to listen to the podcast or check the transcript for the details:
