Well terminal is like a brand name of shell. shell is a theoretical concept, terminal is the implementation. That is what i understand as the difference.
Also, terminal is what you open when you are in a GUI. shell is something that exists when you press ctrl+alt+f1, when there is no gui at all.

am i correct?

I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1.
The screen went blank for some time, then returned to my working window.
It lasted for about 3 seconds or so.
So, how do we type in the command?

Will it not work when we have an active GUI?

When we login using Linux, we are shown different options before we press any key.
There is an option Default. I think when we boot using this Default option, we do not get any GUI. We get only a terminal type screen. Is this what is called a shell?

am i correct?

See its like this,
Linux provides us with 7 working shells. All accessible using atl+ctrl+1, alt+ctrl+2... alt+ctrl+7...
alt_ctrl+7 grings back the GUI (graphical user interface), which maybe KDE, Gnome or any other graphical interface you may be using.
alt+ctrl+1 to alt+ctrl+6 provides you with a command line(shell). You have to login using any username and password (even root) and then you can work there! But of cource who like working with a command line.

The GUI on the other hand(where we all wanna work) provides us with more options.
If you are using KDE u can open Konsole, for Gnome the default is terminal. or use xterm.
All are the same. All open up another instance of the shell.

Now what is a shell? Shell as its name suggests is an outer layer to your operating system. The operating system (gnu/linux here) is basically two main parts. The kernel and the shell. The kernel is on the inside and interacts with your hardware. The shell is the interface between the user and the kernel. So when you are using a GUI (say pidgin/firefox) it interacts through the shell to the kernel and gets your work done.

But sometimes the user requires a shell. Because he/she may have work for which a GUI is not yet developed or maybe it's just required. Also Linux/Unix is powerful because of its powerful shell. So we open up terminal/xterm/konsole to do our work. Feel free to upen another instance of the shell in a new tab/ another terminal/konsone/xterm.

There are different types od shells in existance. All shells we use now is bash (Bourne Again Shell) which is a improvement on sh (simple shell). So when you boot your mechine in single user mode(now how to do that? Google!!!) you will find sh as the default shell. Typing in bash will run bash.

Thats it! Phew!
