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!

[EnglishCoachTs]

I admire you. Even as a native speaker and teacher I sometimes mix up effect and affect. I love the way you simplify it in this video. I hear native say upmost instead of utmost all the time!! Proof that everyone makes mistakes.

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

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.

Thank you so much teacher Sabrah for useful and helpful lesson . You widen our vovabulary by your super explication . Hats off!

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".

[PabLo-tobf]
