Hi,

i saw this at korean forum some one who asked it on what different between different and another

which one is a correct sentence?

i find different job Simple present tense is not good in either of these examples. You might say 'I am finding a different job, I am going to find a different job, I found a different job', etc. It depends on what you mean.

i find another job

please explain them if there is wrong..

Say it this way:

I'm trying to find a different job.

I'm trying to find another job.

i'm looking for a new job.

You don't seem to think that capital letters are important in English. They are, so please use them.

Best wishes, Clive

i didn't know that is important in english, small letters is seems better than capital latters..

and does native speaker say like that " i'm trying to find a different job/ another job?

i thought that it's korglish(korean+english)

for exaplem

"fighting" in korea means "way to go" or "go for it" in english

Capital letters are very important in English. 'I' is always a capital and you must start each sentence with a capital letter too. Proper nouns, such as Korean and English, always start with capital letters too. Although people may sometimes drop this in very informal writing, it is not correct to do so, and if you are learning English it is important that you learn these rules as otherwise all of your writing looks like it has been done by a child.

'I'm trying to find a new job' or 'different job' or 'another job' are all equally acceptable.
