Any differences between "modify" and "change"? [closed]

Solution 1:

I cannot possibly say which is better for the airline industry in given circumstances. It would have to depend on context. If I arrived at the airport to be told that my flight had been "modified" such that it would now be leaving the following day, I could imagine becoming annoyed and suggesting that it had been "changed" - or worse "cancelled".

But "change" certainly suggests a more radical and complete alteration to "modify".

One "changes" one's address when one moves home. But the design of a car gets "modified" if, for example, the manufacturer decides to install a larger engine.
