How and when to use what? (EXPLAINABLE vs EXPLICABLE)

imaginative ''n imaginary: ????
YOU say HI... I say BYE....YOU say YES... I say NO NO NO....

If SOMETHING is imaginary, it exists only in imagination and is not real.
If SOMEONE is imaginative, he/she has a tendency to fantasize/imagine things or has the ability to visualize and/or think originally.
My own explanation, if found flawed, pls accept my apology.

JK Rowling is a very imaginative woman while her creation, Harry Potter, is an imaginary boy.

thế còn advise, consel và consult thì khác nhau ntn?
YOU say HI... I say BYE....YOU say YES... I say NO NO NO....

Advise: To give advice, caution, warning, to give information, or notice.
Examples: I advise them of the consequences of their action. I advise them of their rights. I advise them to try out a different approach.
Counsel: can be used as a noun or a verb. As a noun, a counsel means an advice given especially as a result of consultation, a policy/plan of action or behaviour, or guarded thoughts or intensions. As a verb, to counsel is to advise against a rash decision, or to consult toward a difficult situation.
Example: Amie and her husband were counselled to take things slower.
Consult: To consult is to give regards to, to ask for the advice or opinion of, or to refer to. As a noun, consult or consultation serves as the act of consulting or conferring.
Examples: I consult the dictionary for that new word. She consults the doctor on not being able to sleep.

Incredulous vs. Incredible
Maybe it''s because these words have similar roots that people sometimes confuse them (and so use them incorrectly).
Incredulous means to be unwilling or unable to believe something, to be skeptical. Only people can be incredulous.
Example: She was incredulous about the claim he made.
Incredible means unbelievable. People can be incredible, and so can things.
Examples: He is an incredible liar. She was incredulous about the incredible claim he made.

chú CXR ơi, vẫn confusing quá --> lơ tơ mơ, chả hiểu gì cả... nhất là cái consel với consult ấy...chú có thể cho VD trong hoàn cảnh or lĩnh vực cụ thể hơn???
YOU say HI... I say BYE....YOU say YES... I say NO NO NO....

when you counsel somebody, you give advice.
when you consult somebody, you seek advice.
is that still not clear? Just to follow the custom of the English club''''s, I don''''t want to use Vietnamese.
Just a brief extra note: consult can indeed be used like counsel, in the sense that they both mean "to give advice," but seldom is "consult" used in that sense.
Thus, if you give somebody advice for a fee, you consult them (on/in a certain issue.)

Ah...the art of translating words. I must say though, it is not always about translation, it''s more to do with the feelings one gets when one is faced with a word. Such could be the word "Incredible" in which case can mean a million of different meanings depends on how you perceive/feel when you see the word.
Just to be different.
ARSE/ASS and Donkey. XD Hahahaha.

Doi la bien kho..

may i ask just a question about the grammar?
I saw scores of things like this: We HAD BEEN here LAST NIGHT; I had been to the bar YESTERDAY, vv..... How come? Books tell me to simple such time phrases with Simple Past only. Where''s the problem? Did it mean the same thing as was used with HAD BEEN or the like?
Thanks
Right decision, to be true to myself, and FOREVER HATE YOU!
