What is the difference between back it up and prove ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
- English (US)
- Spanish (Spain)
Back it up can mean to give facts to support something. Prove means to show that something is true. Generally you can use them to mean the same thing, but in context people use them differently.
Examples:
"If you want to show others that the environment is in danger, you're going to have to find facts to back it up."
"I don't believe someone has good intentions unless they prove it."
A lot of the time (not always) people use the phrase "back it up" with the word "facts". "Prove" often comes with the word "it".

2) You need to some one to back up that story, otherwise you're going to jail.
