instance vs example

Both 'instance' and 'example' are correct terms in English, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Instance' is often used in a more general sense to refer to a case or occurrence of something, while 'example' is used to illustrate or clarify a point. The choice between the two depends on the specific context in which they are being used.
