WAYS OF DOING THINGS:

Глагол to answer в значении "отвечать" не имеет в своем значении никакого уточнения характера и обстоятельств ответа". Такие уточнения этого действия передают нижеследующие глаголы to reply, to respond, to retort и существительные a reply, a response. Глагол to reply и существительное a reply имеют значение "отвечать на вопрос, просьбу или замечание", особенно при сообщении о том, что кто-либо сказал: I waited for Smith to reply, but he said nothing я ждал, что ответит Смит, но он ничего не сказал; the jailer refused to reply to the prisoner's question where he was being taken тюремщик отказался отвечать на вопрос узника, куда его везут; we asked Jane to help, but she replied that she was too busy мы попросили Джейн помочь нам, но она ответила, что была слишком занята; Dr. Jones murmured something in reply, but I couldn't hear what it was доктор Джонс пробормотал что-то в ответ, но я не слышал, что он сказал; railway officials say it is not their fault - that is what they usually reply to the customers' complaints железнодорожные служащие, как обычно, говорят в ответ пассажирам, что это не их вина; your mother wrote to you three weeks ago and she's worried because you have not replied ваша мама написала вам три недели тому назад и она беспокоится, так как вы не ответили. To respond to smth, a response имеют значение "отвечать кому-либо на критику или чье-либо несогласие, реагировать каким-либо образом, ответная реакция": how do you respond to the accusation that you deliberately deceived your employers как вы можете ответить на обвинение в том, что вы сознательно/нарочно обманули своих работодателей; he put forward his proposal and sat down waiting for us to respond он изложил свое предложение и сел, ожидая, что мы ответим. To retort используется в значениях отвечать возражением, возражать (обычно резко), огрызаться: I felt tempted to retort that the matter was none of his business мне так и хотелось возразить/резко ответить, что это не его не касается
