Here are the main differences between an electric motor and an electric generator:

An electric motor is an AC motor which works with alternating current
But Generator is D. C motor that works under the principle of direct current
The difference between a separately excited DC generator and a Shunt DC generator is that for a separately excited Dc generator , the excitation field winding is supplied by an external source different from that supplying the armature while for shunt generator, the excitation field windind is connected in series with the armature and supplied by a single source.

An industrial generator has some form of built-in cooling system. A marine generator relies on pumping water from the lake or ocean the vessel is in for cooling.
a motor Will do work by consuming power a generator is just the opposite
If the frequency of the oncoming generator is slightly higher than the system frequency, the phase angle between the system and generator voltages will slowly change at a frequency equal to the difference between system and generator frequencies.
