Harm is when you hurt something that is living or referring to life.
Examples: You can harm a person, ecosystem, animal, etc.
Damage is something that you do to property.
Examples: You can damage a car, building, relationship, etc.
(Non-living things)
Spoil is used in reference to food, but only some specific foods.. Don’t know why
Example: The milk is spoiled
(I can’t think of anything else that “spoils” right now... Mostly only milk.)
