The word build gets defined as the construction of something, that is usually large by putting various parts together and using other materials to give a distinctive shape. When we use this term in a current way, we are talking about something that happens at the same time or in the recent past; we do not use it when we speak of something that was going on in the past. Another way of using the word comes when we talk about the physique of someone, the dimensions of the body of a human or animal. Many other variations of the name also exist, but these two become the most commonly used ones. The term itself originated from the mixture of German and Old English word bold or botl, that modified to byldan and got connected with bower to give the current form of build. Let us use the word in a couple of sentences to get a better idea. “We will build an army unlike any that has ever existed, and we will use it to seek revenge on your father for betraying you and her.” Another example goes as; “Concessions have been obtained by the French government to build a line of railway from the Tongking frontier at the town of Laokay via Mengtsze to Yunnan-fu.” We see that the use here for something that currently happens or will occur in the future and not about an event of the object of the past. The construction of a house that may transpire in the future is another example.
The word built gets defined as the development of something, that is usually large by putting various parts together and using other materials to give a distinctive shape over time. When we use this term in the way it is, we are talking about something that happened in the past. It never gets used for something going on in the current state, and therefore we use it as developing that takes place with time. Taj Mahal rates as one building that got made in the 18th century, we never say that it was build in the past century we always say that it got built in the mentioned century. In simple words, we assume that built rates as the past and past participle of the build. The incorporation of something to make a particular structure. The origin stays the same as the original word. Let us use the word in a couple of sentences to get a better idea. “She’d told him the truth because she wanted them to have a relationship built on trust and love.” Another example of this word goes as; “Our internal electrical system works by using cells that have built up electrical gradient or energy that can be given off to other cells by direct transfer.” We see that in both the example, it has something related to the events that have no relation to the current world and actually may have happened or did happen. The construction of a house that did occur in the past is another example.
