Yes, both your sentences are correct.Can I say "A jar is full of honey" and "A tanker is full of oil"?
Could you please tell me what the difference is between 'be full of' and 'be filled with' and if they are OK here?
Thank you very much.Unnecessary. Thank us after we help you, by adding the "Thanks" icon to any response you find helpful.
"Filled", when used as an adjective, is commonly used as an alternative to "full". However, it's more appropriate to things that are stuffed with something else - filled pasta, filled croissants etc. In those cases, "full" would be wrong.
Note my corrections above. When you quote a full sentence, only include the full stop at the end if it also marks the end of the longer sentence (around the quote).
