Refuse and Deny?

[k k colin love]

Dear all
Could you please tell me what is the difference between "refuse" and "deny"
Can I use them both in the same way.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

Refuse = not allow or permit
Deny = say you didn't do something

tdol, you forgot about 'my request was denied'

But usually deny is the opposite of admit

Thank you teacher tdol for your short and clear explanation.
