3. Their, There and They’re:



Even though there is nothing much confusion in these words, many go wrong while they write these three words whenever needed. The word, “They’re” is used as the short form of two words ‘They Are’, the word “Their” is used when explaining about something that belongs to other ‘people’ [them], like for example, ‘It is their responsibility to care of their dog’, ‘ It is their home’ etc. The word ‘There’ is usually used to in the phrases like, ‘You won’t get that book here you will get it over there in that book stores’ etc. So, as the pronunciation of these three words is quite similar, even the smart person can easily get confused.

4. Quiet and Quite:



There is no difference when you use these two words while conversing with another person. But it makes a huge difference when you wrongly use these words for different sentences. The word ‘Quiet’ refers to say ‘silent’, ‘calm’ etc, like for example, “She is so quiet in the classroom’. The word ‘quite’ refers to ‘fairly’, ‘pretty’, ‘rather’ etc, like for example, “It is quite natural that he loves books’.'
