Answer

When you are haunted you feel SCARED

When you are frightened (as in the case - you have not done your home work or you have not prepared the presentation etc.) you start feeling AFRAID of being scolded. 

SCARED IS THE NEXT LEVEL OF BEING AFRAID. 

SCARED IS MORE INTENSE THAN BEING AFRAID.

On several occasions, both these words are used interchangeably.

Answer

Well,we often tend to use these words'afraid' and 'scared' interchangeably.

But,there is a subtle difference between the two.

To be afraid of something or someone means the the person has a inner fear or phobia of those particular things or people.

On the contrary,to be 'scared' of something is used situationally and that sense of fear which is already there pops up as as a negative emotion with the release of adrenaline in our body.

IN CASE OF SCARE DEGREE OF FEAR IS GREATER

Answer

Answer

Answer

They are more or less the same.

Answer

Although the words afraid, and scared have similar meanings, the grammar is not the same. These are all adjectives and express nearly the same degree of fear. 

Answer

The words 'scared' and 'afraid' are both adjectives and can be considered as synonyms of each other. However, while both are used to express the emotion of fear, the difference lies in the grammer and usage of these words.

'Scared' is used to indicate fear and anxiety. A scared person is nervous or frightened about something. For example: He is too scared to go into the water.​

The word 'afraid' literally means 'filled with fear'. For example: She is afraid of spiders. In this example, she has such a dislike of spiders, she will do whatever she can to avoid them.

When we talk about grammar and usage of 'scared' and 'afraid', we should remember that although we can be 'scared by' something, but we cannot be 'afraid by' something. For example: 'She was scared by the clown' is right but 'She was afraid by the clown' is wrong.

Also, 'afraid' is not usually used before a noun, rather, it is usually put after a verb. For example: 'I am afraid of that' is right but 'I am an afraid person' is wrong. However, we can use 'I am a scared person' instead.

I hope your doubt is clear.
