Accurate can often be used before a noun in the same way as exact and precise . |
When the words are used after a linking verb, there is a slightly different emphasis, especially in negative statements. A description that is not very exact/precise lacks details; a description that is not very accurate gives details, but the details are wrong. Precise includes the idea of being clear and certain as well as correct and can be used to talk about people in the phrase be precise about sth . Exact is not usually used in this way. |
[not before noun] ( BrE informal ) exactly right指完全正确、对极了:
His guess was spot on.
