You got those pairs of words you think English learners may have tough time differentiating which from which, especially during writing,please drop them here. Below are mine . - Artist / Artiste An artist is a person who draws,paints or makes carves,while an artiste is a public performer , especially songs or dance. -seize / cease Seize means to take possession of something using force or violence,while cease means to bring something to an end or stop. - stationary / stationery; Stationary is a condition in which an object or something is not experiencing motion. It's stagnant. While stationery are basically your writing materials, office materials. - Illegible / Eligible; Illegible is a situation where something or a writing is not clear enough to be read, while eligible means meeting the necessary conditions or qualifications to participate for something. Moral / morale; Moral relates to principle of right and wrong in behaviour,while morale is about the level of belief ,determination and confidence a person or group of persons have at a given time.

Re: List Five Pairs Of Confusing Words And Their Meaning by SmartPolician: 5:24pm On Feb 16, 2022 |
The one I find most embarrassing when people wrongly use them is their and there Update To whom it may concern Their means that someone or people own or have something. Examples, 1. She is their first daughter. (It means the lady is owned by the unnamed parents). 2. Their house is just two streets away from mine. (They own the house) On the other hand, there means that place OR it is often used to start a sentence. Examples, 1. There's something about that girl (Like I said, it is often used to start a sentence. It doesn't show any form of possession). 2. There are two boys in my class now. (Again, starting a sentence without any form of possession). 3. I will be there (that place) 4. He was there when the armed robber was arrested (that place). In summary, whenever you want to say that someone owns or possess something, use their. However, where that is not the case, use there. Combination: Over there (that place) in England, English is their (possession) first language. I hope this helps... 26 Likes 3 Shares |
