The small difference between "possess"

[jrineakter]

It means having something that you can use, you can use it.

For example, you can replace "you have one hour to complete the exam" with "you have one hour to complete the exam." You replace "have" with "have".

Or, instead of saying "France has a large army", you can say "France has a large army". France has this army at its disposal and can use it whenever it wants. This is the meaning of "to have".

and "have" is that when you possess something, you own it. If I own a house, I own it. On the other hand, if you have something, you can use it, but you don't necessarily own it.

Fourth: Obtain.
It means to succeed in having something that we wanted, we achieve a result. We can use it in many cases. For example, we can get a good grade, we can get a diploma, we can get a new job etc.

For example: “My daughter got 18 out of 20 in russia whatsapp number data her baccalaureate”, this can be replaced by “my daughter got 18 out of 20 in her baccalaureate”.

“I got a raise” can become “I got a raise.”

Fifth, the verb: to win.
Here, it replaces the verb "to have" in the sense of obtaining something through one's efforts. It is used very often in the context of a competition for example. One can win a victory, a medal, a prize, a success.

Seventh: Obtain.
Here, it has the same meaning as the verb "to have" in the sense of obtaining. It is used only for tangible things, things that can be touched, real things. You can get a book, you can get a ticket for a concert, etc.

For example: "I managed to get a ticket to the World Cup final" can become "I managed to get a ticket to the World Cup final". "To have" becomes "to get".

Eighth: benefit from.
In the word "benefit", you find "benefit", which indicates that it is something positive. So "benefit from" means to obtain something positive, to have an advantage.

For example: "In the Authentic French Academy, you have the help of our tutors", it becomes "in the Authentic French Academy, you benefit from the help of our tutors".

You see that it is still a little more precise to use "benefit from" and that it is a little more advanced, a little more elegant.
