Hello,
In the sentence, 'they show how they spend their time', can 'display' and 'expose' replace 'show' without any difference in meaning?
Thanks.
expose display show

Re: expose display show
Not really. For example, "expose" could mean "show accidentally". "Display" is usually intentional. Without context it's hard to say much more
