Solve vs Resolve

網路來源

Generally, when it comes to problems, people use "solve" when it''s a problem that doesn't involve a disagreement with another person.

** e.g. if I was locked out of my house because I didn''t have my keys, I would work to find a way to SOLVE the problem by finding a way to get into my house.

Usually the word "resolve" is used with problems that involve other people and disagreements. If there is a misunderstanding or a difference of opinion as far as how something should be done or whether or not something should be done, people work together to "resolve" the issue.

** e.g. The council members RESOLVE to enact the law to protect the environment.
