Be honest have you ever made any of these mistakes? Which words do YOU find confusing in English? If you have comment below and tell us and if you are a native speaker don't be shy...we want to hear from you!

[@rezza2507]

Yes, to be honest, I have ever made some of these mistakes because of confusing in these perplexing English words such as "loose" and "lose", "practice" and practise", "hoard" and "horde".

[@ParkJimin-xx8fe]

Well, i'm not a native speaker. 'practice' and 'practise' it always confused me so thank you so much!

[@bethechange8336]

I had confusion... Thank you

[@josephmendoza9920]

1. En masse - ‘not on mass’. In a large group - ‘People are going to the holiday sales en masse’ 2. Affect and effect - Affect = verb to affect. Effect = noun to have an effect (in most cases but effect can occasionally be used a verb). ‘I think you are working too much and it might affect your studies’. ‘It really affects me to see homeless people sleeping on the streets during the winter’ It has an effect on me when I see homeless people on the streets. Consider the effects of your actions! 3. To be on tenterhooks - To be waiting nervously / to be in a state of suspense, ‘I am on tenterhooks waiting for the results of my exam’. Not tenderhooks 4. Utmost - Most extreme or to the largest extent ‘an issue of utmost important’ or ‘I will do my utmost to help you’ Not upmost. 5. Bare and bear - bear = to tolerate or to be able to stand something ‘I can’t bear watching the news when it is depressing’. Bare = to be naked or exposed. ‘You can’t have bare arms in the temple’. Bare = a person can bare their soul, meaning to reveal/ expose deep things about themselves. 6. Hoard and horde - A horde = a large group of people (negative connotation). I am not going into the city centre today, there’ll be hordes of people. To hoard or a hoard - to store things, to keep things that should be thrown away, or to hide money or valuable objects. A hoarder - a person who likes to store things or keep things hidden away. 7. Principle and principal - Principal = a person who has a lead role in an organisation ie the principal of the school is the head of the school. Principles - moral or legal standards, ‘I would never cheat on someone, it goes against my principles’ 8. Practise and Practice - Practice = noun, Practise = verb, this is good practice. ‘She has a medical practice’. The practice of yoga (which I do daily) I practise yoga daily. 9. Complement and Compliment - A compliment - to give praise/ say nice things to someone. Complement - something that matches something well, goes well with something - ‘this cheese complements the wine’ 10. Loose and lose / luːs / and / luːz / - Loose - free/ not tight. My jumper is loose, (it is too big). The chickens are loose, (they have escaped). Lose = to misplace, to not be able to find, or to not win at a game.

3:00 Number 3. To be on *tenderhooks.* FYI, most American people usually say the flap "T" in the middle of the word. It is usually pronounced as a /d/ sound. For example, the word "exciting" is usually pronounced as /ɪkˈsaɪdɪŋ/ in American English pronunciation, and the word "party" is pronounced as /ˈpɑr di/ in AE pronunciation. Therefore, the word "tenderhooks" is commonly pronounced as /ˈtɛndərhʊks/ in the USA. xx

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

Yes I can imagine - there is not always a big distinction in fast native speech between t and d in some words.

I couldn't agree with you more = I completely agree with you. 💕

Disinterested and uninterested 2. Complacent and complainant 3. Condemn and contemn 4. Ad and add 5. Allowed and aloud 6. Aural and oral 7. Cue and queue 8. Defuse and diffuse 9. Evoke and invoke 10. Fair and fare. Thank you.

Hi Sabrah! How have you been? I thought this lesson was *bordoy.* Bordoy means awesomely awesome awesomeness. I'm chuffed to bits. Thank you so much for sharing this really useful lesson about ten confusing English words that even native speakers get wrong. You can say that again "English can be tricky." I'll say. *To be honest,* I'm still quite flummoxed by these bewildering English words. Sometimes I get wrong to use and differentiate these perplexing English words eg "Disinterested" and "Uninterested"; "Back" and "Beck"; "Evolve" and "Involve"; "Hanged" and "Hung"; "Advise" and "Advice"; "Farther" and "Further"; "Resign" and "Re-sign".

[@HAL-nt6vy]

How about "will" and "shall?" Off to search those now.

[@rezza2507]

@@HAL-nt6vy As far as I know, both ‘shall’ and ‘will’ are two of the English modal verbs. They have various uses, including the expression of propositions about the future, in what is usually referred to as the future tense of English. In the past, ‘shall’ was often used as an alternative to ‘will’, and you can find many examples of ‘shall’ in famous literary works. But in modern English we usually prefer ‘will’ for affirmative and negative sentences. However, we still use ‘shall’ to form questions with ‘I’ and ‘we’, especially in British English. We can say I ‘shall’ or We ‘shall’. Otherwise, the most basic and common form used to express the future is ‘will’. The structure of ‘will’ is easy because it is the same for all subjects (I/You/We/They/He/She/It) and you don’t need to change anything about the verb.

[@rezza2507]

@@HAL-nt6vy The distinctions between 'shall' and 'will' are fast disappearing. Shall is now hardly used with second and third person pronouns. In the first person, however, shall is still being used to indicate simple future. With first person pronouns, 'will' expresses ideas such as determination, promise, threat or willingness. When used with second and third person pronouns, 'will' expresses simple futurity.

[@andrecustodio2432]

This word "loose" I found it recently and I'm still getting used to this word. I was making confusion between "loose" and "loosen".

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

Loosen is referring to the action of making something loose, so to loosen your belt means to make your belt looser. Hope this helps! 😊

Great video, but I disagree with the way you stress the word "effect". In this video it sounds as if you stress the first syllable Effect whereas the stress should be on the second one. "eFFECT".

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

You can stress it more than I do but some native speakers will say it fast and won't necessarily pay attention to that stress.

[@Sladovsky1]

@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah when you speak fast you you may shift the stressed syllable, but in isolation the syllable should stressed clearly. I listened again to the way you stress the word "effect" and I cannot really hear whether you stress the first syllable or the other one.

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

That's the way natives will say and in fact that is why it causes confusion because you can't always hear the difference.
