    Hello Jennifer! Happy to see you! Thanks a lot for the explicit definitions of those words! Everything is clear.
    My examples:
    My cat refuses to eat sausage.
    I refuse from any diet.
    --
    I was invited to a walk, but I declined because of the rain.
    I was offered a new project, and I didn't decline.
    --
    He rejects to answer their questions.
    She rejects invitations to the cinema. She likes theatre.
    Have a great weekend!

    Thanks Jennifer! What I understood is this: All of them have the same meaning but decline is somewhat mild word, refuse is more strong than decline and reject is the strongest word to say no.
    My sentence:
    I thought it was only me who declined to join there but later I came to know that two other job seeker had already refused to join their company. They got all those rejections because of their low salary offer.

    Hi Jennifer! Examples: 1) He cannot refuse if you ask politely. 2) He refuses to compromise his principles. 3) It was unwise to reject his offer. 4) Don't just reject their suggestions out of hand. 5) She invited me to dinner, but I was busy so I had to decline. 6) My initial reaction was to decline the offer.

    Kobe Bryant was offered millionaire contracts from other teams over his career but He always declined because his love to L.A Lakers .
    Ned Stark was beheaded because He refused to recognize Joffrey as the real heir to the throne .
    Every time a mean girl rejects a nice guys , a womanizer is born .
    You are a jaw dropping woman Jennifer . Your beauty is out of this world .
