alter/distort

Posted by roza_d66 · December 15, 2006 · 1 replies

Could you please tell me what is the difference between "alter" and "distort"? both of them means to change.

Thanks,
Roza

they both mean to change something, the shape, look, story and so on.

The difference is distort also means to change something so that is different from the truth, original meaning or indiscernable from the original.
