Catalogue / brochure / leaflet 的分別

In my opinion, we can look up the words first.

Poster ; a large notice, often with a picture on it, that is put in a public place to advertise sth

Catalogue ; a complete list of items, for example of things that people can look at or buy

Brochure ; a complete list of items, for example of things that people can look at or buy

Leaflet ; a printed sheet of paper or a few printed pages that are given free to advertise or give information about sth

Booklet ; a small thin book with a paper cover that contains information about a particular subject

Pamphlet ; a very thin book with a paper cover, containing information about a particular subject ( SYN : Leaflet )

Advertisement ; a notice, picture or film telling people about a product, job or service

Broadsheet ; a newspaper printed on a large size of paper, generally considered more serious than smaller newspapers

Generally, Those nouns are used to using at different situation, for example poster is a kind of materials to advertise.

I suggested using those words to ask people first, then you will know the difference :)

Because it's no only way to explain English vocabulary.

Re Cheese: Oh surely asking vocabulary in ENGLISH is the better way to understand actual meaning. Don't you think so? I am sorry to confuse you. Sometimes please do not believe in translating dictionary because you cannot find out the exact definition.

PS : I suggested using those words to ask natural English speaker or looking the words up in English dictionary, then you will understand the difference. Otherwise, you cannot improve your English skills even if you only read the Chinese definition.

Duncan 幾攪笑...
