Definitions
- Describing carrying something heavy or bulky with effort. - Referring to moving something by pulling or lifting it with difficulty. - Talking about transporting something that is awkward or cumbersome.
- Describing pulling something along the ground with force. - Referring to moving something by exerting force in a backward direction. - Talking about moving something with difficulty or resistance.
List of Similarities
- 1Both involve moving something from one place to another.
- 2Both require physical effort.
- 3Both can be used to describe moving something heavy or awkward.
What is the difference?
- 1Direction: Lugging involves carrying something upwards or forwards, while dragging involves pulling something backwards or sideways.
- 2Force: Dragging involves using force to move something along the ground, while lugging involves using force to lift and carry something.
- 3Resistance: Dragging implies that there is resistance or friction between the object and the surface it is being moved on, while lugging does not necessarily imply resistance.
- 4Speed: Dragging can be done quickly or slowly, while lugging is generally slower due to the weight or size of the object being carried.
- 5Connotation: Lugging can imply that the object being carried is heavy or cumbersome, while dragging can imply that the object is difficult to move due to friction or resistance.
Remember this!
Lugged and dragged are both verbs that describe moving something from one place to another with physical effort. However, the difference between them lies in the direction and force used to move the object. Lugging involves carrying something upwards or forwards, while dragging involves pulling something backwards or sideways with force. Additionally, dragging implies resistance or friction between the object and the surface it is being moved on, while lugging does not necessarily imply resistance.
