Hello, everyone!
I'm not very clear about the difference between circle and circle out.

1. Please circle out/circle the right one.
2. Please circle out/circle four red apples(among a lot of apples).

Which should be used in these two different occasion?

Thanks!
Thanks, but isn't there different between circle and circle out?
I can't think of a use for circle out. 👁 Smile :)
Ok, maybe you can say to the boys: I want you to circle out about 40 yards and come in on their blind side.
I wasn't suggesting that there was no use for "circle out," just that the usages were very few. In your original sentence, circle out is a verb phrase: to circle out (as it is in my example). In the example you found on Google, it means how to make a circle from (out of ) paper -- not a verb at all. 👁 Smile :)

circle is a noun in your example.

Out of = from or using in your example, i.e. it's a preposition governing the word paper. It's not part of a compound verb.

I've never come across the term "circle out" as a compound verb. I'd have to interpret it as "exclude the circled items" and then my mind would balk because we normally use a circle to include items.

So can you use other words to explain what you are trying do say?
I have the same problem with word "circle out". I don`t know, how right translate this song:

I’m going back to the circle out,
Let me know if you coming down,
If it still feels good
I won’t let you leave me now


Please help understand the meaning "circle out" in this context.
What's the song? Google is not helpful in locating it. "Circle out" is meaningless to me in these lyrics.

it`s song LA Seda road - Marcus Bentley
Sounds to me like "I'm going back to the Circle Lounge." I think you're reading incorrect lyrics.
There are no spelled-out English lyrics to that song online; the links lead only to videos.

The cattle are in front of you facing you. You are to move out to the side and then behind the cattle and approach them from the direction that they are not facing.
