CommonlyConfused Words
Today we will look at part ofSPI 0601.1.9 Recognize usage errors occurring within context (i.e., double negatives, troublesome words {to/too/two, their/there/they’re, its/it’s, sit/set, lie/lay, affect/effect, may/can, leave/let, teach/learn, accept/except, capitol/capital, principle/principal, between/among}).
Here’s what we are learning:

Commonly Confused WordsIn the English language their/there are some words that are spelled differently but sound exactly the same (e.g. too, to, and two), and there/their are some words that are spelled the same but are pronounced differently (e.g. read/read). Then/Than, their/there are those words that do not share the same spelling or pronunciation but are often confused. These are your/you’re commonly confused words and today we are going to begin working on making sure you can recognize and correct usage errors within context.

Its and It’s•This is one of the most troublesome
pairs because the possessive pronoun ITS does not carry an apostrophe as in: The cat’s claws.
▫Since this is a possessive pronoun, it may help to think of the S in ITS as already belonging to the word.
•The apostrophe is used in the contraction IT’S (short for it is).
It’s common for the cat to lick its claws.

Your and You’re
Again, this is a case of a possessive
pronoun and
a contraction.
•YOUR shows that something belongs to
you.
•YOU’RE is short for You are.You’re wasting your time with this project.

Where, Were, and Wear
Similarity in spelling and improper pronunciation often cause these to be
used incorrectly.
•WHERE : (pronounced w+air or hw+air) at or in what place.•WERE : (pronounced wur) past tense of
are•WEAR: (pronounced w+air)
Where were you hiding?

Except and Accept▫Except: is a preposition meaning “but” or
