This is"Your chanc"e to avoid spelling mistake
Good spelling is important when you are writing for a wide audience so it is important to spell-check carefully. However, there are some errors that no software will pick up because what you have typed is a word, just not the one you needed! Here are some of the commonest errors and how to spot them
Steps
. These are words which sound the same, but are spelled differently: commonly confused
Steps
. These are words which sound the same, but are spelled differently: commonly confused
- allowed/aloud - allowed means permitted, whereas aloud has the same meaning as out loud
- bored/board - bored means to have lost interest; a board is a flat piece of wood
- break/brake - break means to damage, but brake is what you do to slow down a car or a bicycle
- new/knew - new is the opposite of old whereas knew is the past tense of to know
- piece/peace - a piece is a part of something (it even has the word pie as its first three letters!); peace on the other hand means absence of noise or hostility
- sure/shore - sure means certain, but shore means the beach or coastline
- site/sight - site is the correct spelling when you mean the place where something sits - like a website! Sight on the other hand means something you can see.
- stairs/stares - stairs are steps; stares is a verb meaning to gaze intently
- steel/steal - steel is a metal, whereas steal means to take something that does not belong to you
- they're/their/there They're is a shorter way to say they are. Their is possessive - it's their fault. There is a place - over there.
- through/threw - through is a direction (as in straight through the door), but threw is the past tense of throw
- to/too/two - Two naughty boys who went too far went to jail.
- whether/weather - whether indicates a choice - whether or not, whereas weather means sun. rain, snow etc.
- which/witch - Which witch is the wicked witch? (apologies to all wiccans!)
- whole/hole - whole means complete whereas hole means a gap or space where something is missing
- right/write - right means correct or the opposite of left, but write means to compose (words or music)
- your/you're - your is a possessive pronoun, and you're is a contraction, as in saying "You're really good at writing articles."
- Use apostrophes correctly
it's and its cause problems for many people. it's means it is whereas its is the possessive form. Possessive pronouns his, hers and its are the only possessive forms which do NOT have an apostrophe - hence the confusion. The dog wagged its tail. - Other than that, use an apostrophe where one or two letters have been missed out when a word has been contracted - eg. where is becomes where's. Plurals do NOT need an apostrophe.
- Plural possessives have the apostrophes after the s. The dogs' tails wagged in excitement
- Be aware of noun and verb differences in words like
- advice/advise advice is the noun whereas advise is the verb
- practice/practice practice is the noun and practice is the verb (in British English)
- affect/effect - affect is a verb , effect is a noun. So you talk about the effect of something, but affecting someone. Another easy way to remember this is affect = affection while effect = cause and effect.
- Watch out for words that sound similar
- dose/does
- of/off
- quiet/quite
- chose/choose
- lose/loose
- accept/except
- Take care not to write of instead of have after modal verbs such as would, could, should, must, may and might. The confusion comes from the contraction - would have becomes would've which sounds like would of
