Word confusion
What’s the difference between ‘who’, ‘which’ and ‘that’?
13 Feb / by: Lorraine Forrest-Turner / 0 comments /We have several relative pronouns, which can be confusing.
Use ‘who’ and ‘that’ for people and use ‘which’ and ‘that’ for things.
Why is ‘anywhere’ okay but ‘anyplace’ wrong? And in the US, ‘anytime’ is okay.
Don’t assume that all ‘any’ words can be joined.
The words ‘bimonthly’, ‘biweekly’ and ‘biannually’ confuse most people.
Does ‘bi’ mean that something happens once every two weeks/months/years or twice every one week/month/year?
Ever get confused with the homophones ‘bear’ and ‘bare’?
‘Bare’ only ever means naked or uncovered.
