Coarse vs Course

Coarse means rough; whereas, Course means direction taken or pursued; line of action; each of successive division of meal.

Coarse

Coarse is only an adjective. Its main senses in today’s English are:

1. of low quality,

2. lacking refinement or vulgar, and

3. rough in texture or composed of large particles. 

For example, a movie regarded as obscene or lowbrow might be called coarse, as might a person who speaks in a rude or off-color way.

In the third sense, the adjective’s applications are broad. Most commonly, it tends to describe rougher varieties of sand, asphalt, soil, and fabric.

"The coarse cloth was uncomfortable against his skin."

"The comedian’s coarse humor was not to her liking."

"A coarse painting was drawn on the cave’s wall."

"She dusted the tops of the candies with coarse sugar.

"The Perch is a coarse fish." [I.e. of low quality]

Course

Course, which works only as a noun or a verb, has many definitions. It refers to paths, durations, academic classes, golf playing fields, and parts of incrementally consumed meals, among other things.

As a verb, it means, primarily, to move along a course. Blood, for instance, is often described as coursing through the veins. The word also appears in the idiom of course, which means naturally, obviously, or certainly.

"The lunch consisted of five courses." [Part of a meal]

"He has not yet decided which course of life he should adopt." [Path]

"The river Ravi often changes its course." [A direction]

"I have just completed my speaking English course.” [Education delivered in a series of lessons.]

"The government took an unexpected course of action." [A series of events]

"The doctor has prescribed him a five-day course of medicines." [Duration]

Test yourself:

"Of course I want to complete my French learning course but the coarse behavior of the teacher has forced me to take this unwanted course of action of dropping the classes."
