Usage | award and reward |
Be careful not to confuse award and reward. You get an award for doing something well, and you get a reward for doing a good deed or service: Tuka got an award for writing the best short story, and Gina got a £50 reward for giving a lost wallet back to the owner-so they went out and had a fancy dinner at a fine restaurant. |
