What are the differences among consist of, comprise and compose, thank you.
What are the differences among consist of, comprise and compose, thank you.
We can say a,b and c constitute d.
How can we express this meaning with consist of, comprise and compose?
I know consist of can not be in a passive form, so we can say d consists of a,b and c, but not d is consisted of a, b and c.
How about comprise and compose? Thank you very much.
