SYNONYMS
 
Hi everybody
 
I have a question about the verbs "conduct" and "carry out". 
 
Are they  synonyns? Are they used for the same purpose? or there is a slight difference , perhaps "conduct" means the way you organize the taks?. I have the doubt.
 
For example:
 
She carried ut the task efficiently.
She conducted the task efficiently  
 
Thanks in advance

Found this on Internet:

In many cases they are interchangeable, but,
"Carry out" can suggest that you are following instructions or a protocol, or an order, while "conduct" is usually for the person or organization leading the operation.
Also, conduct isn�t usually used for a single action, but for a process with many steps.

"Conduct a survey" and "carry out a survey" are the same, but "carry out orders" is correct while "conduct orders" doesn�t make sense.

Sounds good!
