What's the difference between alone and lonely? You're not alone – we're here to help you find out.

If you are alone, you're not with people: solo. Alone is an adjective.

For example: I was alone in the garden all afternoon. No other person was with me.

It can also be an adverb of manner: I live alone. I am the only person who lives in my house.

Lonely is an adjective. It means you are 'sad because you are not with other people'. It describes how someone feels.

He was very lonely when his family was away.

So remember alone is neutral but lonely is a negative emotion.

You can feel happy if you are alone, but if you are lonely, you are not happy.

That's it! Don't struggle with English alone – let us help.
