What's the difference between zeal, ardor and enthusiasm? What's the difference between zeal, ardor and enthusiasm? How do I put it containing one of these words if I'd like to say a person offers help with passion (For example, 'People always zealously offered to help me get to where I was going when I found myself lost in [city]')?
