Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Instance"

A: For example

A: not exactly another example is
"it's a matter of wants and needs"
these examples are hosting sayings

A: It is another way of saying “for example.” Both mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

A: Very advanced sentence.

Same sentence in simpler words to help:

"In many cases, these actions have changed the incurable into people of normal health."

(In many situations, these actions have healed incurable people)

A: every time it's possible.

voting every election, responding to everything, etc.

A: Yeah its mostly interchangeable but I would use for example (e.g) when im about to list things or I am about to say a sentence after. I would just use for instance when I am about to say a sentence after or after I have just listed things.

Imho:

I like animals e.g. cats, dogs, birds etc..

sounds better than

I like animals for instance cats, dogs, birds etc

However, if I were to put the list at the start of the sentence (to exagerate the specific list of things I am talking about) this sounds better:

Dogs,cats and birds for instance make really good house pets.

Than

Dogs,cats and birds for example make really good house pets.

Dont use the e.g. in this instance as we most normally pronounce it as e.g. not “for example” and we expect to hear a list after someone says “e.g”

In terms of using for example / for instance to combine ideas:

I like do a lot of outdoor sports for instance I go skiing every winter in New Zealand

Sounds better than

I like do a lot of outdoor sports for example I go skiing every winter in New Zealand

This is just what I think but at the end of the day I dont think english speakers would really notice much of a difference

A: We need to make several improvements - for instance, the text on the website needs to be easier to read.

She isn't very reliable; for instance, she was half an hour late to our meeting yesterday.

A: For instance, you can use it to start a sentence if you are going to give a example of something.

You can also use instance as a moment in time. For example, you can say, "In this instance it mattered to him very little."

Hope that helps!

A: New York is a city with a great diversity, many people have different backgrounds and cultures who live there. Whereas, the countryside of Iowa has less diversity because fewer people move there.
You can see that there is more diversity in NY, because more people know how to use chopsticks, for instance. However, both NY and the countryside of Iowa have their respective benefits.

A: For instance can be used like "For example"

A: Well, I think there are some instances when "such as" can't replace "for instance" and "for example." Let's see:

He seemed sad yesterday; for example he didn't laugh at any jokes (but "such as he didn't laugh at any jokes" doesn't quite work).

Softer nuts, such as pistachios are very nutritious. ("Softer nuts, for instance pistachios are very nutritious." This works, but it's not as smooth as using "such as").

"For instance" and "for example" are interchangeable for the most part. Maybe there are subtile nuances, and "for example" sounds more formal.

A: No difference in everyday speech.

A: 'For example' is used to make more clear what is being said.

Example: "Everyone has a favorite color. For example, mine is green."

'For instance' is used when talking about situation/scenario (usually future tense)

Example: "A lot of things could go wrong. For instance, someone could get hurt or I could forget my ID and wallet."

Instances are specific examples, so all instances are examples too.

But not all examples are instances because examples can be anything but instances are specific examples.

A: Instance may be one particular example of several similar ones but not in every case
Whereas "case" is perhaps a little more general in that it refers to a case which may or may not have different instances.
Generally they can be substituted but "instance" suggests and very particular version of a case such that next time the case occurs (a difference instance) the result may not be the same.

A: For instance and For example can be used formally or informally, they both generally have the same meaning.
However, For Instance is usually used to describe possible circumstances

"I would like to see a better world. For instance, what would happen if everyone cared about each other?"

while

For example is used to give more details

"Children should wear colorful shirts. For example, red, blue, or green."

A: ​ well, actually yeah. The way you said it works really well. To steal someone’s thunder would be like to take credit for something that someone else was planning on doing. Or rather to do something someone else was planning on doing and getting all the praise for it. (It usually always refers to something positive or praise-worthy)

-Sorry about stealing your thunder, I was working with her so I shared the news with her. (I actually did “steal my brother’s thunder” just the other day by sharing the news of his engagement with my sister at work… he was planning on telling her that afternoon but he had told me that morning) anyways, I suppose you could use this phrase with your example, but it’s usually used praise-worthy things. Another example:
-I was so close to winning! But of course he had to swoop in last second and steal my thunder.

With your example, I’m not sure if there’s a very good verb/phrase you could use. You could say that the news was yours to share as in you alone had the right to give the news.
-That was my news to share. Why would you go around me and tell her? (Go around = bypass)

P.S. Thank you btw! 😊

A: I would change to: "For instance, both mooncakes and tangyuan symbolize harmony, happiness, and homecoming. Thus, Chinese food closely corresponds with the country's history and cultural values." (The last sentence is good as is.)

Your writing is very good! I've read much worse from English speakers. I thought "homecoming" sounded better because it is alliterative, but it might not be what you mean.

I changed "correlate" to "correspond" because "correllate" has the feeling of comparing something mathematical or scientific.

I don't know if "the country's history and cultural values." changes the meaning too much. It wasn't wrong, I just thought it sounded a little awkward. It could be "its history and values".

A: @Sana_Kyoto I guess if you really want to be specific, you can say “email communication” instead :)

A: I am scheduled for tomorrow, but I'm not feeling well. Would you be able to cover my shift tomorrow?

A: Us랑 I는 같이 안쓰여요, 약간 우리는 나와 이런 뜻이라.. ‘예를 들어보자’는 let me give you an example 아니면 for example 이라고 많이 써요.

A: the most of your toots → the majority of your toots / most of your toots

A: For instance, Lionel Messi, the worldwide soccer star, was asked what Ronaldo was for him. He answered he was his best friend and rival who made him train hard and step up once more. Because Messi was competing with Ronaldo, he could move forward and improve himself. In this way, competing is a good way for enhancing our quality of life.

A: Okay these sentences are too long and I don't think someone can speak that fast in 10 seconds.
