¿To close o to shut?
En general hay poca o ninguna diferencia entre to close y to shut. Pero recuerda que no puedes usar shut como adjetivo (una ventana cerrada, a closed window y nunca a shut window). To close hace referencia a acciones lentas y ocasiones formales o solemnes (cerró la puerta con cuidado para no despertar a los niños, he closed the door carefully so as not to wake up the children), mientras que to shut expresa más bien brusquedad, fuerza o rudeza: ¡Cállate!, Shut up! Cerró la puerta en mis narices. He shut the door in my face. No puedes emplear shut al hablar de las comunicaciones (carretera cortada, road closed) ni en expresiones figurativas (una mente cerrada, a closed mind).
