🔹 Failure vs. Fault 1. FAILURE 👉 Refers to the lack of success or when something doesn’t work. Focus: the result/outcome. Usually about an attempt, plan, system, or machine. Examples: The experiment was a failure. (it didn’t succeed) The company went bankrupt after years of failure. The car stopped because of engine failure. (mechanical breakdown) 2. FAULT 👉 Refers to responsibility, a mistake, or a defect. Focus: the cause of the problem. Often used to show who/what is to blame. Examples: It was my fault that we were late. (I am responsible) The TV stopped working because of a wiring fault. (a defect) Don’t blame her—it’s not her fault. ✅ Quick Comparison The bridge collapsed because of a structural fault. (the defect/cause) The collapse was a complete failure. (the bad result/outcome) 👉 Easy trick to remember: Failure = result ❌ Fault = cause/responsibility ⚡
