Learn English – What’s the difference between “if any” and “if anything”

You can think of it this way: something that is cleared can still be dirty.

For example, if the floor is cluttered with things such as toys and papers and whatnot, you can clear the floor by removing everything from the room. However, all those things probably left dirt or stains about. Next, you would have to clean the floor to remove those.

Indeed, to wander and to roam are synonyms, and they both can mean to move about aimlessly or without any destination, often in search of food or employment.

However, to wander has some additional meanings that to roam doesn't:

• Lose clarity or turn aside from the main subject. (Her mind wanders.)
• To be sexually unfaithful.
• To go an indirect route or at no set pace. (We wandered into town.)
• To move in a sinuous, spiral or circular course. (Synonym with meander.)
