Hello!
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.
Another question: How do you call the woman who is helping a woman to give birth? and do you say indefinite time contract or something else?
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.
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?

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.

Hello! I'd be happy to answer your questions and provide some explanations.
1. The person who checks if passengers in buses or trains have tickets is commonly known as a ticket inspector or ticket collector. While the term "conductor" can also refer to a person who leads or directs an orchestra, it can also refer to a person who collects fares or tickets on public transportation in some regions. The specific term used can vary depending on the country or transportation system.
2. The woman who assists another woman during childbirth is typically called a midwife. A midwife is a trained medical professional who specializes in providing care and support to women during pregnancy, labor, and after childbirth. In some cases, a doctor or nurse may also assist during the delivery process.
Regarding the term "indefinite time contract," it seems you may be referring to an "indefinite contract" or a "permanent contract." This is a type of employment contract where there is no defined end date, and the employment is considered ongoing until either party decides to terminate it, usually with proper notice.
3. "Accounts" refers to the financial records and transactions of an individual or an organization. It typically includes record-keeping, bookkeeping, and financial analysis.
On the other hand, "accountancy" is the field of study or profession related to accounting. It encompasses the principles, processes, and practices for recording, analyzing, and reporting financial information. When someone says they have a degree in accountancy, it means they have completed a formal education program focused on the study of accounting principles and practices.
So, "accounts" refer to the actual financial records, while "accountancy" refers to the broader field of study and profession related to accounting.
I hope these explanations have clarified your questions! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
