Difference between "-goro" & "-gurai" Grammar 101

Both -GORO(ごろ) and -GURAI(ぐらい）are used to express approximation.
But -GORO is only used for a specific point in time, to express ideas like APPROXIMATELY, ABOUT, AROUND.
The word 頃 (koro, toro), that gets attached on to other words as a suffix, has to do with TIME.
And while 頃 has to be used with for time, KURAI (くらい) or GURAI（ぐらい) can be used both for an approximate TIME PERIOD or other aproximate QUANTITIES.
Let’s see some examples and also some special expressions using GORO & KORO.

I came primarily to try to find the difference when using 時 vs 頃。 子供の頃　子供の時

[@japanesewithlily]

You can use both 子供の頃、子供の時in the same context without worrying. For examples
子供の頃【子供の時】手塚治虫のアニメが大好きでした。

[@japanesewithlily]

50匹，五十匹… When you write the number 50, then you don’t have to youth small つ，even though the pronunciation is jump sound with a small つ

[@japanesewithlily]

¥10,000 is 10,000円。。。一万円
You need to say いちまんえん
