Identify, Specify and Indicate: how are they different?

Jorrakay (guest): I am from Thailand. I am looking for someone who can clarify me about English. Can some one clarify me how different between identify, specify and indicate?

Mark: Hi Jorrakay, great question! So you want to know the difference between identity, specify and indicate.

Identity is like a name, everything has a name, that would be like your identity... for example your identity on this website is "Jorrakay".

Specify is to point to a specific item, to get more detailed about a point.

Indicate is to point out something, like you might indicate you are hungry by rubbing and pointing at your stomach.

Hope that helps!
