What is the difference between Copy and Imitate?

Copy: 

1- Make an exact copy of the original.

2- We use it when copying an object, speech, or writing.

Example:

He copied the painting.

 

Imitate: 

1- Make a similar copy to the original but not identical. 

2- We use it when copying an action or behavior.

Example:

She imitated her friend’s dancing.
