What is the difference between geschlossen & schließen? Can i say the door is close (schließen) & the door is closed (geschlossen) in german? would it mean the same thing?

Hallo TinaZ4,
schließen ("to close") is the infinitive form and geschlossen ("closed") is past participle verb form.
So you can say things like:
“Die Tür ist geschlossen.” - “The door is closed."
“Ich schließe die Tür.” - “I'm closing the door.” or
“Kannst du die Tür schließen?” - “Can you close the door?”
Hope this helps!
Viele Grüße,
Julia
