    Differences between these words?

    Can you tell me if there is any difference between the following sets of words? Even if there is a slight nuance, I want to know.

    также и тоже
    среди и посреди
    туда и там
    сейчас и теперь
    близ, вблизи, возле

    And how do you properly use <<а>>? Does it work as some kind of substitute for но or и at the beginning of a sentence?

    do you have a grammar or a dictionary?
    Кому - нары, кому - Канары.

    Re: Differences between these words?

    посреди/среди
    In contrast to «посреди», the preposition «среди» could mean «one of» or «a member of»: «среди элементов множества», «среди композиторов я бы хотел выделить Чайковского».

    близ/вблизи/возле
    «(Плохо/хорошо) видеть вблизи», «рассматривать вблизи»
    Here «вблизи» is an adverb. I've never heard of using «близ» или «возле» in this way.

    близ/вблизи/возле

    вблизи is adverbial. близ and возле are prepositions, they need genitive. возле is more general. близ is archaic.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?

    That's why I need to use the search function, I guess!
    Спасибо за объяснения, lae и it-ogo.

    sperk, I have both a grammar book and a dictionary. But they don't tell me if there's a difference between the words. Близ, вблизи, and возле are all just listed as "near" - same with the other ones. I'd never know what the real difference was unless I asked here. ^^

    If your grammar book doesn't discuss the difference between туда and там, I suggest getting a new one.
    Пожалуйста, исправляйте мои ошибки.
