I would like to ask you the difference about English expressions. (Can I use "on"
instead of "about"?)
1)Situation ,and circumstance.
2)Keep on, and keep up.
3)How's it going?, and How are you doing?
4)happy, and glad
Could you tell me when you have time^^ I would be happy if you could answer even one question!
Thank you.

I would like to ask you the difference of some/between some English expressions.
instead of "about"?)
Neither
1)Situation, and circumstance.
A situation consists of one or more circumstances. So Situation=circumstances.
2)Keep on, and keep up.
Keep on simply means to continue. Keep up means to continue so that you don't fall behind.
3)How's it going?, and How are you doing?
Same meaning. "How's it going" is a bit more casual.
4)happy, and glad
Happy is very general. "I am happy today."
Glad is usually used when providing more information. e.g. "I am glad that the weather is sunny today."
If you said, "I am glad today," people might ask you, "Glad about what?" But when you said, "I am happy today." people are less likely to ask you about what.
You can use happy in every situation you would use glad, but you cannot use glad in every situation you use happy.
