Please,
would you be kind enough to explain when to use
"economy", "economical", "economics", "economic"? I always make a mess with these words.
Thanks a lot for you attention to this message.

Hello

economy and economics are both nouns.
economical and economic are both adjectives.

They can be confusing. You'll need to learn the differences.
Here's a good link:

Type in each word in the search box and select a dictionary to get a definition and examples.
I recommend Oxford, Macmillan, Cambridge or Longman. The others don't always have examples.
Good luck.

Hello,

Many thanks for your recommendation about dictionaries, notrepere.
"Macmillian" and "Cambridge" seem perfect to improve my English and especially my pronunciation

Hello,
"economy and economics", are nouns
"economical and economic" are adjectifs I think that it's all
