@asas242 Replacing is like taking one thing out and putting another whereas substitute is when one thing is missing and you use another thing to fill it’s space.
For example:
Replace: “I replaced my sneakers with heels because they went better with the outfit.”
Substitute: “I substituted my sneakers with heels because I couldn’t find my sneakers.”
Hope this helped! Pls don’t hesitate to ask anymore questions you may have or if this didn’t make much sense:)
