Learn English – difference or similarity between reaction and interaction

I have gone through both the links and could figure out the following meaning and difference.

1. Sit yourself at the table means - there is this table with a few chairs around it. So it only means to sit (on a chair at the table) to take some rest.

2. Set the table phrases is used for arranging the things needed for a meal on the table. 'Do you want me to set the table?' means 'Do you want me to arrange things for the meal on the table? - So the sentence in the e-book is 'Do not set yourself at the table to sit alone' means - you should wait for the other members to join you for a meal or have your meal with them and not alone. I have no idea about the story but i think it is related to etiquettes and manners. So this explanation fits.

If you happen to go in a hotel then what expression will the waiter use among the above two. He'll say --

Sit yourself at the table. Your order will be served there.

I agree with Khan's answer.

"Living" has a noun meaning; "live" does not. For example, "You can earn a living as a translator" is valid; "earn a live as a translator" is nonsense.

The sound of the "i" changes between "live" (the adjective) and "live" (the verb). "Living" sounds like the verb. "Live" (the adjective) rhymes with "hive", "jive", and "thrive"; "live" (the verb) sounds like the first syllable of "liver", or the middle syllable of "deliver". "Living" rhymes with "giving" and "shivving", but not with "hiving", "jiving", nor "thriving".

Some examples where "live" and "living"'s adjectival meanings are more-or-less interchangeable:

• She gave me a live plant.

• She gave me a living plant.

• Is it alive?

• Is it living?

• on the other hand, "Is it live?" means "Is it happening now?", not "Is it alive?"

• Live or dead

• Alive or dead (but "dead or alive" is more common)
• Living or dead
