How do you define the difference between shop and store? in English.

I look at a "shop" being a speciality sort of thing, like a candle shop.
I look at a "store" being where they sell different types of merchandise (like Wal Mart).
Hope this helps you - this is just MY opinion.

Stores are bigger and like a place tyhat sell big merchandise. But shops are small places like the corner sotre even if it has the name store at the end. But basically stuff like that. I guess.

at one time a "shop" was where a service was performed, like a barber shop. , shoe repair shop, tailor shop and etc. now days a shop is usually a smaller store , or specality shop.

i think a shop is smaller and when you read realistic fictions they alwasy say shop and they are always small "stores" i think stores are bugger and sometimes more of a franchize

I don't see a difference in them. They're both businesses that sell things.

They are interchangable really...but I think of a shop as being a small place.
