Great! Let's get started!

I'm perfectly aware that English can get very confusing because there are so many words with a very similar meaning.

And very often students have asked me about the difference between the words "scream," "shout," and "yell."

The level of intensity and the purpose escalates from shouting, to yelling, and lastly screaming. 

Shout and yell are very similar but if one shouts in anger, we often call that "yelling" rather than "shouting. "Additionally, in everyday conversation, the word shout is more common, and both words are less intense than screaming. 

When you shout you're just raising your voice without any particular emotional aim.
For example, you may shout at someone that wouldn't hear you otherwise.

Example:
"It's too noisy in here!" she shouted.


The word scream, however, tends to include a very loud pitch sound and indicates terror, panic, rage and other strong emotions.
You scream when you're afraid of something or extremely angry!

Example:
"When he woke up and realized what had happened, he screamed in terror."
