Steps and stairs...

OK here is a quick lesson to cover the difference between stairs and steps. Here goes...



stairs: a flight of steps connecting two levels or floors, usually indoors.



steps: usually 2-4 small ledges for going up or down (indoors), or it can be many more if it is outside. The big difference is it DOES NOT connect two floors, mostly it connects levels where you can SEE from one to the other. So from the top you can see the bottom and vice-versa.



The most famous steps in the world would be the Spanish Steps in Rome. You can see them here:
