    Difference Between ACHE, PAIN, And HURT

    An ache is discomfort that continues for some time. It is usually


    associated with a specific part of the body, such as a headache, a
    stomachache, a toothache, an earache. After you exercise, the next
    day your muscles will probably ache. An ache is usually not extremely
    strong, so you can try to ignore it.

    Pain is usually stronger, more sudden, and more difficult to ignore.


    You would feel painwhen you cut yourself or hit your head on
    something. If you exercise and you injure yourself – break a bone or
    tear a muscle – you would feel a sudden pain.
    We also have the expression “aches and pains,” which describes
    general and various physical discomforts. Your 90-year-old
    grandfather might complain about all the “aches and pains” he has at
    his age!

    Hurt is a little different because it is usually used as an adjective or


    verb, not a noun. To describe an ache or a pain, you could say:
     My ankle hurts. = I have a pain/ache in my ankle.
     My neck hurts. = I have a pain/ache in my neck.
     My shoulders hurt. = I have a pain/ache in my shoulders.
    Hurt is also used to mean “injure”:
     Don’t play with that knife – you could hurt yourself.
     He was badly hurt in the car accident.

    Finally, all three of these words can be used to refer to emotional pain
    as well as physical pain:
     My son is in prison; the situation is causing me a lot of heartache.
    (heartache = emotional anguish)
     It took her years to move past the pain of her divorce.
    (pain = emotional injury/discomfort)
     I was extremely hurt that he didn’t invite me to his wedding.
    (hurt = upset, sad)
