The main difference between the words sell, and sale is that sell is a verb, while the sale is a noun. The word sell means to transfer goods or render services for another in exchange for money. It could also mean sell to a purchaser for a set price.

Sale, on the other hand, is a noun, and it means the act of selling and a special clearance of goods at reduced prices. You can go to a sale, but you cannot go to the sale. Sell could also mean to transfer possession and ownership of goods or property in exchange for money.

It means exchanging goods for the same value in money, after which the seller renounces the ownership of goods to the buyer. An auction is a way to sell a product. The word sell means the act of persuading consumers to purchase something.
