Hi!!
I don’t understand the difference between Avançar and Adiantar. Are they interchangeable? Do they have different uses?
Thanks!

In general, avançar means move forward or progress. Some examples:
Usually, adiantar isn’t just about moving forward or progressing, but about doing so in an accelerated timeline, sooner than expected. So, a sentence such as O relógio avançou uma hora is perfectly interchangeable with O relógio adiantou uma hora, but others aren’t necessarily so.
Thank you, it’s much less confusing now
