Hello what is the difference between a chef and a cook?
Another question: If we have a sentence: It is mary's and john's birthday today do we put apostrophe where I put it?
Can we say: He said in he camera or he said to the camera? (On TV)
Do we say he lied on the bed or he lied himself on the bed?
Hello what is the difference between a chef and a cook?
Chefs are usually trained at special schools, such as the Culinary Institute of America in New York state. Cooks are usually thought of as anyone who prepares meals! I was more of a cook when I was fixing meals for my family, before my children left home and went off to live their own lives.
Another question: If we have a sentence: It is mary's and john's birthday today do we put apostrophe where I put it?
If Mary and John were born on the same day, you'd write, Mary and John's birthday... But if their birthdays are on separate days, you'd write, Mary's and John's birthdays...

Can we say: He said in he camera or he said to the camera? (On TV)
It would be better to say this: He said it on camera
Do we say he lied on the bed or he lied himself on the bed?
The verbs "lie" and "lay" can be very confusing. This chart may help: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/notorious/lay.htm
So you would say, He lay on the bed.
Hello!
To answer your first question about the difference between a chef and a cook, a chef is typically a professionally trained and skilled culinary expert who is responsible for running a kitchen and creating intricate recipes. They often work in upscale restaurants or hotels and have a higher level of culinary expertise and creativity. On the other hand, a cook is a more general term that refers to someone who prepares food. Cooks can work in various settings, such as restaurants, cafeterias, or even in the comfort of their own homes. While some cooks may also be highly skilled, the term "chef" usually implies a higher level of culinary proficiency and leadership.
Moving on to your second question about apostrophes in the sentence "It is Mary's and John's birthday today." The placement of the apostrophes is correct. Since both Mary and John possess the birthday, the apostrophe is added after each name to indicate ownership or possession.
For your third question, the correct phrase would be "He said to the camera." When someone is speaking directly into a camera, whether it's for television or other purposes, we use the phrase "to the camera" to indicate the direction of their speech.
And finally, when referring to lying down on a bed, we would use the phrase "he lay on the bed" or "he lay down on the bed." The word "himself" is not necessary in this context as it doesn't add any extra information. Just stating "he lay on the bed" is sufficient to convey the action of lying down.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
