My English-speaking friends told me that the phrase "filled with" would be better in those two sentences, but I don't understand why.  Can anybody please tell me the difference between the two, "full of" and "filled with"?   Thank you very much.

My English-speaking friends told me that the phrase "filled with" would be better in those two sentences, but I don't understand why.  Can anybody please tell me the difference between the two, "full of" and "filled with"? I really don't see much difference here at all. Perhaps 'filled with' focuses more on the action of 'filling', and raises the question of  who did the filling, ie 'filled with (by whom?)'. It might even be seen as hinting at a religious question.  Best wishes, Clive Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,668 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Difference Between, Whom
