The difference between hard and soft light. Name two ways that you would make hard light soft

What is 

Hard lights have sharp edge shadows created by a single point source of light where light rays are more or less emanating from a single point in space. The sun on a clear day or a bare halogen bulb are examples. 

Soft lights leave a fuzzy shadow and are created by a larger area of light, where light rays are scattered in different directions coming from many different points in space. We can achieve this with various types of diffusion, shooting through a window, shooting outside on a cloudy day
