R02 Study Assistance - Confused By Terminology

Hi All,
Recently started studying for R02, having a bit of trouble with some terminology. Could someone help clarify the difference between:
- Gilts and Treasury Bills
- Commercial Bills and Corporate Bonds
For Gilts vs Treasury Bills: is it about the term to maturity? I.e. Treasury Bills are short term, less than one year and Gilts are longer term? Although, I know you do get 'short' Gilts so that doesn't really give me an answer.
Any help at all would be great, I'm coming up with nothing on Google.
Thanks.

Hi there,
I'd point you to these two links which explain both I think quite well:
https://dmo.gov.uk/responsibilities/gilt-market/about-gilts/
https://www.dmo.gov.uk/responsibilities/money-markets/about-treasury-bills/
Hope this helps.
This is fantastic - thank you so much for the help Jamie!
