Example
Incorrect:
The man was killed over
their.
These are
there books.
Correct:
The man was killed over
there.
These are
their books.
Confusion with Your/You’re
The same error happens as for their/there explained earlier. Just like “their,”
your is used as a possessive word, while
you’re is simply derived from
you
are (like an abbreviation).
Incorrect:
Your at the top of
you’re career today because you have worked
hard in the past.
Your innocent, and I know that.
Correct:
You’re at the top of
your career today because you have worked
hard in the past.
You’re innocent, and I know that.
Remember: To know if you are making the right sentences with the words,
ensure you cross-check by replacing the words alternatively. To a large
extent, by alternating the words, you’re good to go. Whether you want to use
their,
there,
your or
you’re, an alternation of the polar word (e.g., your for
you’re) will be good for you to determine which is correct to use.
Confusion with Raw/Roar
These two words are very identical in pronunciation just like others. The
distinctive difference is that
raw refers to the unprocessed state of something,
i.e., uncooked. It may also mean “not organized or something new.”
Roar is
referred to as a loud noise made by a lion or a machine engine.
Incorrect: The statistical table was made using
roar data.
The guy could
raw to make the room shake.
Correct:
The statistical table was made using
raw data.
The guy could
roar to make the room shake.
Confusion with Dearth/Death
