@PeggyY0111 Prevention is when you do things that prevent the bad thing from happening, defense is what you do when the bad thing happens.
- Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)
prevention: something is already happening
defense: something just happens
So tense is the difference between two words?

@PeggyY0111 No, prevention is what you do to avoid the bad thing from happening before it happens, defense is what you do when it happens. For example, if you don't want to be attacked by a tiger, prevention would be to stay away from its habitat and to be careful, defense would be when the tiger actually attacks you, you kick, maybe you use a knife, you run, that's the difference
