Notes d'usageUse 'extent' in formal or written contexts when discussing levels or degrees. It's less common in everyday speech.Use 'range' when talking about numbers, prices, or types. It's appropriate in both casual and formal settings, but avoid using it in very specific technical contexts unless you're clear about the application.
