Okay, I know conductor is also a person who checks if passengers in buses or trains have tickets. Also called a ticket collecter.
The woman/man helping a woman give birth is a MIDWIFE
What do you mean by indefinite time contract? I can't answer that
The accounts are a companies records and a accountancy is knowing how to keep accounts well.In charge of the accounts is the JOB and a degree in accountancy (Accounting) is the education you need to get that job.
Does this help?
How do you call a person who checks if passengers in buses or trains have tickets? It is not a conductor right? Conductor is a person who conducts an orchestra.
Yes, "conductor" is correct for both uses. I have no idea why!!
Another question: How do you call the woman who is helping a woman to give birth? doctor, nurse, nurse practitioner, midwife ??
and do you say indefinite time contract or something else? indefinite-time contract, eternal contract, contract with no expiration date (I don't know that there's a specific term for this.)
One more what is the difference between the accounts and accountancy? e.g. In charge of the accounts for the department and degree in accountancy.
