Hi everybody:
Let’s make “ Dictionary Differances” between synonyms.
Share us…..
I’ll start by:

Sky/Heaven:
Heaven: the place believed to be the home of God where good people go when they die.
Sky: the space above the earth that you can see when you look up, where clouds and the sun, moon and stars appear.

Canal/River:
Canal: a long straight passage dug in the ground and filled with water for boats and ships to travel along.
River: a natural flow of water that continues in a long line across land to sea/ocean.
