patch/plot

[Vladislav]

What is the differece? (meaning a piece of land)

 

[Aya del Playa]

It's a subjective difference, but a plot of land is usually larger (like something you would build a house on, or a farm). A patch is smaller (like something you would turn into a garden; the common expression is "a patch of grass.")

 

[Vladislav]

"a patch of grass" - and what does it mean? A small garden?

 

[difficult cuss]

A "lawn" would be a controled area, cut to a length and probably in a shape (square, round, emu-shaped or anything else for that matter). "a patch of grass" would be a small area of grass, normally this would not be a lawn.

Ok, thank you.
