Steal vs Rob
Steal: to take sth without permission or legaltight
she was found guilty of stealing from her employers
او را به جرم دزدی از مافوقش گرفته بودند
Attention: the prepositions "from" " is always followed by the verb steal
Rob: take property unlawfully from (a person or place) by force or threat of force
she was robbed of her handbag
کیف دستی اش را از او دزدیده بودند

اما تفاوت در چیست؟
وقتی می خواهیم اشاره به دزدین چیزی از کسی کنیم از Steal استفاده کرده ولی وقتی می خواهیم بگویی کسی مورد سرقت واقع شده و به عبارت دیگر شخص مفعول واقع شده است است rob استفاده کرده و همچنین پس از افعال To Be نیز از Rob استفاده می کنیم.
این دو تعریف از کاربرد این دو فعل نیز تاحد زیادی مشکل را رفع می کند.

to steal something from somebody
to rob somebody/a bank/a shop/ a house etc

پیش دستی کردن-رو دست کسی بلند شدن
get the jump on someone
ex:No one has ever been able to get the jump on Maziar in english!

Dangling Modifier

A dangling modifier is an error caused by not placing the noun being modified next to its modifier (or failing to use the noun being modified in the sentence).

Example:

Having seen Blackpool Tower, the Eiffel Tower is more impressive.

The example above intimates that the Eiffel Tower has seen the Blackpool Tower. A correct version would be:

Having seen Blackpool Tower, I am more impressed with the Eiffel Tower.

This version is correct, because "I" is logically attached to "Having seen Blackpool Tower". (Note: "I" is a pronoun: a type of noun.)

Example:

Being born in Dawlish, it is understandable that I miss the sea so much.


In this example, "it" was not born in Dawlish. Better versions would be:

Being born in Dawlish, I understand why I miss the sea so much.
As I was born in Dawlish, it is understandable why I miss the sea so much.
("As I was born in Dawlish" is not a modifier.)

WHICH WORD?

also / as well / too

Also is more formal than as well and too, and it usually comes before the main verb or after be: I went to New York last year, and I also spent some time in Washington. In BrE it is not usually used at the end of a sentence. Too is much more common in spoken and informal English. It is usually used at the end of a sentence:
'I'm going home now.' 'I'll come too.'. In BrE as well is used like too, but in AmE it sounds formal or old-fashioned.
When you want to add a second negative point in a negative sentence, use not...either: She hasn't phoned and she hasn't written either. If you are adding a negative point to a positive one, you can use not...as well/too:
You can have a burger, but you can't have fries as well.

Usage Note: Some maintain that it is inappropriate to begin a sentence with also. In an earlier survey, however, 63 percent of the Usage Panel found acceptable the example The warranty covers all power-train components. Also, participating dealers back their work with a free lifetime service guarantee.

When you want to add another reason and give it special emphasis or importance, use furthermore, moreover, what's more or besides : 'The drug has powerful side effects. Moreover, it can be addictive.' Also is not wrong but does not have the same persuasive force.
