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

A: 'Shop around' means to look in different shops until you find the best product/price.

A: It means you can spend your money until you are satisfied.

A: That means the shop is around or near the Mt Fuji

A: Sorry, I can't make sense out of it. :-/

A: @tjstkdn:
Yes but sometimes your deals can be another option

e.g A:These pens are 5$
B: What deals do you have?
A: If you buy 10 pens i will sell them to you at a discounted price of 2.5$

A: Both can be correct depending on the context, but I think the first option is more accurate for what you want to say. In 1) "He wants..." is applied to both unconjugated verbs "(to run) a shop" and "(to earn) a lot of money". In 2) you conjugated the verb (to earn) which means that he is making a lot of money in present tense. This makes it into two separate statements, "he wants to run a shop" and "he earns a lot of money". I hope this helps you!

A: The term ‘shop’ is used to refer to a small place that sells products and merchandise. While, ‘stores’ are saved for the big stores such as a department store that may hold multiple shops.

Another difference is that ‘shop’ refers to any place that provides a service or customizable products. A ‘store’ is considered a place where objects are sold.

A: 'I would like to shop about before deciding which computer to buy'
決めることがあれば、いい決定ができるように他の選択肢をちゃんと考える事です。
やはり買い物についてだけではありません。

A: Why should I come to your shop when there is a shopping centre in my neighborhood.

A: It's the difference between 買い物する and 買う, "to shop" and "to buy," respectively.

A: I think it needs to be: "...has been open since..." and not "...has been opened since.."

"has been opened since" is slightly awkward so it's not really preferred phrasing even when that meaning is needed. But it also is for talking about how long since something was opened up. Which is more common for talking about how fresh food is. So the milk was opened on Thursday. Or the milk has been open since Thursday. Even then, 'the milk has been opened since Thursday' would seem a little more awkward. I do occasionally see this, but "has been open since" seems to be preferred. Even when talking about a store opening.

"has been open since" talks more directly about when it started being open. So for a store, I would say "it has been open since [date]" to say how long it has been open for business. So "The shop has been open since 2015" seems more correct to me.

But to answer your real question. Both of them mean the same end result. It is the same amount of time. However there are some minor nuances, mostly because of the way human brains think about things.

The shop has been open since 2015.
-- if you are comparing dates for several different things, this way can be easier. "The shop has been open since 2015. The bakery across the street opened in 2017. We got a lot more business after that." It is easier to compare this year vs that year when it is said this way.

-- for official or professional purposes, this sounds better. (Using "___ years ago" is more casual and informal.)


The shop opened 6 years ago.
-- this is better for informal or casual conversation.
-- this is better for talking about how long ago something was. This is because a lot of people are not very comfortable with thinking about math quickly. So if you say "x years ago" that makes it easy to see how long it has been. But if you give them the year, they might forget how many years it has been since then. It doesn't always "feel" as long as it has actually been. Time gets away from people sometimes. So "x years ago" can feel more "real" to a lot of people, it can be easier to think about.

The other part of your question:
"has been" is because it is also using "since". So "has been [something] since" all goes together.

So you can have "the shop opened in 2015" or you can say "the shop has been open since 2015."

But "the shop has been opened in 2015" is awkward and "the shop opened since 2015" is also awkward.

You can also have "the shop has been open since 6 years ago." or "the shop opened 6 years ago" (although the second option is a little more natural). You can also say, "the shop was opened 6 years ago". [Although "the shop was open 6 years ago" changes the meaning. It means it was open 6 years ago, but implies it is not open now, so maybe it closed a long time ago].

A: I would say that a shop is a specific type of small store, such as a small local business.

A: In American English, a shop is a very small store (but not a convenience store)

アメリカ英語で、shopはとても小さいstoreです。(でも、コンビニではないです)

A: I think this used to be a difference between British English and American English. But now both places use both words fairly often, so there isn't much of a difference.

You do hear "a/the store" very often in America, and "a/the shop" less often for a normal store. In some situations, one of them is preferred just from habit. So "mechanic shop" or "auto shop" is common for a place that fixes cars, but "auto store" would sound like a place that sells items for your car (oil, tires, seat covers, etc). Saying that you're "going to the store" is super common in America, but saying that you are "going to the shop" is mainly used for "workshop" and not a store at all. But we do sometimes use "shop", like when describing "this town has a lot of nice shops in it", "we went to the mall to look at all the shops", etc. So I guess Americans mostly use "a shop" for a smaller or independent little stores. Like, we never call Walmart a "shop", it is always a "store". And a "book store" could be any size big or small but a "book shop" I would expect to be a smaller, cozy, cute little place. And we say "coffee shop" but never "coffee store".

But I think Britain uses "shop" a lot more often for all kinds of stores. So in a way, it is still a difference between British English and American English. Just a little bit.

A: I assume you're asking about nouns, not verbs.

In American English a "store" is what is called a "shop" in British English -- place where you buy things (where you go shopping). In American English, the word "shop" usually refers to businesses that repair things, such as cars.

A: Yes you're right :)

A: This shop repairs phones

A: Usually, we say someone works “for” the person who pays him.

A shop assistant works FOR the shop owner. He works WITH the customers.

For a lawyer, it’s a little different. Some lawyers are paid directly by their clients, so in that sense, a lawyer works for his clients. But it also would be correct to say he works with his clients.
