    Duolingo warns me to be careful not to confuse "antworten" and "beantworten". What is the shade of distinction here? Is there a parallel in English?

      "antworten" >> I answer him. "beantworten" >> Ich beantworte die Frage, I answer the question.

        Thank you siebolt, that gives me a context that I can work with. Ned.
