neer & close

what is the difference between neer & close and we need exampes plse

There is no real difference in meaning between near and close to.

Note that it is close to not just close

Examples:

The spider sat near Miss Muffet.    The spider sat close to Miss Muffet.

I live near the bus station.    I live close to the bus station.

Each sentence in the pair has the same meaning.

When we are talking about emotional closeness, we always use close to; never near.

I feel close to my brothers. not  I feel near my brothers.

We are a close and loving family.  not   We are a near and loving family.

NEAR is a bit more formal, so if you are writing something in a more formal context, choose NEAR over CLOSE. 

Keep in mind that there are certain set expressions where one is used all the time.

The two planes almost crashed. It was a near miss.   (never a close miss)

That movie was nowhere near as bad as the one we saw last week.  (never nowhere close as bad)

There is no real difference in meaning between near and close to.

Really very nice a knowledge. I didnt hear that a difference between near and close to. In fact never hear knowledge about near and close to. What a pity me!

Thanks ashq and gkisseberth.

I don't usually use near for non-physical descriptions.

Example.

How old do you think I am?

25

Close (wouldn't use near)

That's sounds right. You could use "nearly" though.

I'm nearly 50 years old.

In this case, "nearly" means close, but not quite.

i think near not same with close , because near to make some thing close but it not

but close its already for bonding the fact
