    Salut PoivronOrange3912 😁

    Merci pour ta question!


    The verbs "to scare" and "to scare off" both involve causing fear, but they differ slightly in their connotations.


    To scare:

    Example: The loud noise scared the children.

    It is a more general term and does not necessarily imply that the person or thing will leave or move away.

    To scare off:

    Example: The barking dog scared off the intruders.

    It specifically implies that the fear results in the person or thing leaving the area.


    In summary, "to scare" is about inducing fear, while "to scare off" specifically means inducing fear that results in flight or departure.


    N'hésite pas si tu as d'autres questions 😊

    À bientôt 😎
