A: There really isn’t of any difference between the words but most of the time it’s context. Though there many ways and instances you could use either one.

Like for example:

“You need to concentrate , this is really important for you to understand.”

Or another example

For the word focused it would be used like the following.

“You need to stay focused”

“Just focus, you almost got it!”

Or

“You need to stay focused in order to remember everything you just read.”

Truly there isn’t much of a difference it just depends on what you feel like using at the moment. However, tone can make a world of a difference when you use these words. 😊✨

A: Both are natural ways of saying it, so I assume you mean pronunciation? If so, here you go:

A:

I'm a stay at home mom raising my 3 year old daughter.

(This is what would be said in America).

If you say:
I'm a stay at home mom raising ‘A’ 3 year old daughter, it implies that you are a stay at home mom but you’re babysitting someone else’s daughter. So you can clarify the sentence and say ‘My’ daughter.

A: "I stayed at home" is correct!
You could also say, "I was staying at home."

A: No difference. You can say "I'm staying at home" or "I'm staying home" and it means the same thing.

• stay silent:
→ imperative.
→ Polite way to demand silence.
== be quiet!

A: × It had been raining the whole stay when I visited there last time.
✓ It rained for the whole stay when I visited there last time.

If you wanted to use "had been raining" in a natural sentence, you could say:

"I spent a week there last year for my birthday. The day of my birthday was magical. It had been raining for my whole stay up until then, but that day, there was not a cloud in the sky."

The "up until then" bit is a big part of why this is an appropriate time to use "had been raining".

A: × I'm getting used to my stay in hotel quarantine!
✓ I'm getting used to staying in hotel quarantine!

this sounds a little better to me i think
