Hi, Amy! What’s cooking? Smile


Also, as far as I know “story” can also be spelled as “storey”. Is there any difference between them too?

Hi! “Storey” is the British spelling. “Story” is American. So we use “story” here. Wink



Story and floor mean the same thing, although I’d say we usually use “floor” when talking about the inside of a building and “story” when talking about it from the outside. For instance: “The building is 10 stories tall, and I live on the fourth floor.”
