A) Dear teachers and native English speakers,
can you explain me the difference between "to screw up one's eyes (or face) and "to frown"?
Do they generally mean the same thing? Or do you use them differently?
B) What about the examples I've done below?
1) I don't want the judges frown.
2) I don't want my mother screws her face up, but I'm sure that if she knew that, she'd do it.
3) She frowned when she heard what had happened.
4) She screwed her eyes up when she heard what had happened.
