Question

Using complete sentences, explain the difference between a need and a want and give an example of each.

Answer 1

A need is something that you can't survive without. For example, you need food, water, shelter and clothing. A want is something you can live without, but having it makes life more enjoyable. For example, a TV, a cell phone, and a cool toy are all wants.

Answer 2

Starting off with a need obviously is something you need, for example you need food, water, shelter and clothing. But why you may ask because if you don’t have these things then you could possibly die without them so this is a need. Now a want, a want is something you want say you want a new video game or a new tv something like that that is something you want not something you need.
