Extend, Expand, etc.
This week on Ask a Teacher, we answer a question from Ann in China. Here is part of Ann’s question: Hello Teachers, Could you please help me understand the difference between "extend," "expand," "stretch," [and] "enlarge" when I describe an activity that makes something larger than its current state? Thank you, Ann. We can use the four verbs Ann asked about to express an increase in physical size or amount. We can also use them to express increasing the time an activity takes. Extend We often use the verb “extend” to talk about increasing the amount of time for an activity or program. For example: Officials want to extend the school year by six weeks. We can use the verb “extend” to express an increase in people, things, or ideas. Consider the following examples: The new rule extends to all employees in the company. They want to extend the benefits of freedom to people around the world. This research will extend our knowledge. We can also use “extend” to express the distance or the area something reaches. For example: The Rocky Mountains extend from the United States into Canada. Expand We use “expand” to express an increase in the size of a project or program. And, like “extend,” we can use “expand” to talk about including more people. Consider the following example: Officials want to expand the program to include people from developing countries. We commonly use “expand” in connection with business or industry: We want to expand our business to reach more customers. Stretch We can use the phrasal verb “stretch out” to express increasing the time to continue an activity: I wanted to stretch out my vacation for an extra two or three days. We can use the verb “stretch” to express improving our ability to do something: Learning a new language will stretch your mind and improve your problem-solving abilities. Note that when we use the verb “stretch” in this way, we communicate the idea that the improvement might be a little difficult or take a lot of effort. Enlarge Unlike the verb “extend,” we do not use “enlarge” to talk about an increase in time. Instead, it simply means to increase in size or scope. Scope means all of the things connected to an activity or project. Consider the following example:

Wilbur and Orville Wright: The First Airplane
Wilbur and Orville Wright are the American inventors who made a small engine-powered flying machine. They proved that flight without the aid of gas-filled balloons was possible. Wilbur Wright was born in 1867 near Melville, Indiana. His brother Orville was born four years later in Dayton, Ohio. As they grew up, the Wright brothers experimented with mechanical things. Later, the Wright brothers began to design their own flying machine. They used ideas they had developed from earlier experiments with a toy helicopter, kites, the printing machine and bicycles. Soon, they needed a place to test their ideas about flight. The best place with the best wind conditions seemed to be a piece of sandy land in North Carolina along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It was called Kill Devil Hill, near the town of Kitty Hawk. The Wright brothers did many tests with gliders at Kitty Hawk. With these tests, they learned how to solve many problems. By the autumn of 1903, Wilbur and Orville had designed and built an airplane powered by a gasoline engine. The plane had wings 12 meters across. It weighed about 340 kilograms, including the pilot. On December 17th, 1903, they made the world's first flight in a machine that was heavier than air and powered by an engine. Orville flew the plane 36 meters. He was in the air for 12 seconds. The two brothers made three more flights that day. Four other men watched the Wright brothers' first flights. One of the men took pictures. Few newspapers, however, noted the event. It was almost five years before the Wright brothers became famous. In 1908, Wilbur went to France. He gave demonstration flights at heights of 90 meters. A French company agreed to begin making the Wright brothers' flying machine. Orville made successful flights in the United States at the time Wilbur was in France. The United States War Department agreed to buy a Wright brothers' plane. Wilbur and Orville suddenly became world heroes. But the brothers were not seeking fame. They returned to Dayton where they continued to improve their airplanes. They taught many others how to fly. Wilbur Wright died of typhoid fever in 1912. Orville Wright continued designing and inventing until he died many years later, in 1948.
