[Tip] Moral vs. Morale




* Moral can be used as an adjective or as a noun. It describes standards of good or bad character and behaviour because it's concerned with principles of right and wrong. It can also mean the significance of a story or event; can be used describe a kind of story that tells you how you should or should not behave.

* Morale is a noun. It means a state of individual psychological well-being based upon a sense of confidence and usefulness and purpose; the spirit of a group that makes the members want the group to succeed.


Examples:


He had no moral sense on the one hand, on the other, no fear.

He claimed his book was a very moral work.

The moral of the story is to love thy neighbour.

It is a difficult task but not impossible now our morale's improved so much.

You know the California crew - the morale's up there.
