In the legal sense, intent is a noun.http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htm#298550Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:52:18 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:298550J Lewis1http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htm#298550http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-298550.xmlTidus gives these examples: "She is intent on going to college in the Autumn", or, "Her intention is to go to college in the Autumn." This suggests that intent is only an adjective, but in more formal contexts it can be a noun, as in "letter of intent".http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htm#298514Tue, 26 May 2009 01:52:18 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:298514Tidus2http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htm#298514http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-298514.xmlIndeed it can be - along with paste for cooking etc. I was taking it for granted that alongside 'glue' it was in the context of an adhesive.http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htm#298462Thu, 26 Mar 2009 02:52:18 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:298462Marius Hancu3http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htm#298462http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-298462.xmlI don't think paste is always adhesive (think tooth paste, or dough at in the first definition underneath), while glue is. They definitely aren't synonyms, see: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/paste http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/gluehttp://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htm#298452Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:52:18 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:298452Tidus4http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htm#298452http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-298452.xmlAs a noun, both paste and glue are adhesives - they join things together. Glue is a stonger adhesive than paste. Paste is usually used to hang wallpaper. Glue is used for everything else. As a verb, paste or glue is the act of joining things together using adhesives. "I've broken a plate and need to glue it back together". Intent and Intention mean much the same thing ie planning on doing something: "She is intent on going to college in the Autumn", or, "Her intention is to go to college in the Autumn."http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htmSun, 26 Apr 2009 01:52:18 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:297897Believer5http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaeTellMeTheDifference/djkng/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-297897.xmlHi, Please tell me it.
