Thank you Bridget. It's very helpful !

I am unfamiliar with the Italian and how it works, but I can give you a differing definition for each word: Fear - (Noun) - An unpleasant emotion felt when one is threatened by danger, pain or harm. (Example: "I shook in fear as bullets shot past my head.") Scare - (Verb) - To cause fear or nervousness. (Example: "To scare her into revealing the truth") Afraid - (Adjective) - Feeling fear or anxiety. (Example: "Don't be afraid, the dog won't bite.") Fright - (Noun) - A sudden and shocking/surprising feeling of fear. (Example: "I jumped in fright.") Many words in English are connected and mean similar things, but they are all important as they describe a situation quite differently. Fright is almost a variation of fear, it's a surprising and sudden feeling of fear - but it isn't just fear. If someone wrote "I jumped in fear" it is not as abrupt as fright. I hope this helped!
