Assigned/ transferred??

Hello amigos!👁 Smile :)


What is the difference between these underlined words below?

Tom has been to the UK´s branch office.

Thanks in advance;

Sambista👁 Cool :cool:

With "transferred", we are told that Tom was working elsewhere within the company previously but is now at the UK branch office.

If you used "assigned", we would not know whether Tom was transferred from elsewhere or if this is his workplace within the organisation. He may have just applied for the job last week and has been assigned a position in the UK branch office.

I hope that helps! 👁 Smile :)
