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.
