What is the difference between ‘believe in’ and ‘believe’?
When we are young, we believe in a lot of things: we believe in monsters, Santa Claus, ghosts, green witches, giants, etc. As children, we think that these people/things are real; that they actually exist. When you ‘believe in’ something, you feel rather strongly that it exists. If you ‘believe in some idea’, you support it because you think it is the right thing to do.
*I believe in capital punishment, but my father doesn’t.
When you believe someone, you trust the person. You are willing to accept what he says as being true.
*The problem with Bala is he doesn’t believe anyone.
