Which One?

Remember my post on homophones? Well it's THERE. I'm going to continue with a few other words that may not be homophones but are easily confused with each other.

Let's start, shall we?

1. Lose/Loose

Lose: be deprived of
Loose: not firmly or tightly placed

Do NOT write: Did you loose your trousers? Those seem lose on you.


2. Breath/Breathe

Breath: the air that you take in and let out of your lungs
Breathe: the action of taking in air and letting air out of your lungs

Do NOT write: Breath please, you seem to have lost your Breathe from all that running just now.


3. Quiet/Quite

Quiet: silent
Quite: very or fairly

Do NOT write: Even though she is quite, she is quiet an intelligent girl.


4. Desert/Dessert

Desert: vast dry area of little water and plants
Dessert: sweet food eaten at the end of a meal

Do NOT write: Would it not be such a pleasure to have desert in the dessert.
