Hope that helps.  |
Thank you. I understand most of the usage of
open now.
but I have something unclear about
use.
Question :
1)
Be open is related to state and
be opend is to action. Right?
2) The store didn't open.

The door didn't open.
But, what is the difference between
The store didn't open and T
he door didn't open.
