What's the difference << (PREE - SENT)
(verb) To display or show (explain) something
(such as information or some tangible item (object).
Present : Pronounced > PREH-SENT
(noun) A gift
Represent : Pronounced > REP - PREE - SENT
(verb) To have one thing acts/serves as a sign/symbol or example of something else.
These definitions are not from a dictionary. They are from me. :)
