What's the difference between quietness, calmness, silence and stillness?

I can answer this question. Although my spoken English is not very good, I am familiar with the vocabulary of College English Band 4 and Band 6. `? ) * * I have summarized a table for you to have a rough look at first:

Similarities: both mean "calm and silent"

Difference:

Quiet is a common word, which refers to a quiet state without noise, activity or interference.

Silent is a common word, meaning silence or silence.

Still refers to a state of calm and stability.

Usage difference

The basic meaning of quietness is "quietness". Generally speaking, it means "quietness" when decorating things, "quietness" when decorating people, and "elegance" when decorating colors and clothes.

Quiet can be used as an attribute, predicative or adverbial in a sentence.

Calm is often used with verbs such as be, being, feel, get, keep, grow and remain. It can be modified by adverbs such as quit, perfect and comparative, and can be used as an attribute or predicative in a sentence.

Silent is often used as an attribute or predicative in sentences, and occasionally it can be used as an object complement. When silent is used as a predicative, it is often followed by a phrase caused by the preposition on [about], which means "keep silent about".

When still is used in affirmative sentences, it must be placed after auxiliary verbs and modal verbs and before action verbs; When still is used in negative sentences, it must be placed before auxiliary verbs and modal verbs. When the auxiliary verb is be, it can be placed before or after the auxiliary verb, and sometimes it can be placed after the direct object. You can also modify the comparative level and make a "more, more" solution.
