I understand that all these words are related, but I'm don't know the proper usage. In what cases can I use one or the other?
- German
"fortfahren" ist mostly used for a speech or presentation:
Ich möchte in meiner Rede fortfahren.
"fortsetzen" for a TV show, novel (in newspaper)
Die (Fernseh-)Sendung wird morgen fortgesetzt.
For work or anything similar after a break: Lasst uns unsere Arbeit forsetzen
"weitermachen" more general, can replace "fortfahren" and "fortsetzen".
