Revising spelling
◆ Learn the most commonly misspelled words. Revise the
list on pages 69–70.
◆ Learn the correct spelling of homophones:
hear – here
their – there – they’re
sea – see
too – two – to
your – you’re
The words ‘practise’ and ‘practice’ are often confused and so
are ‘advise’ and ‘advice’. ‘Practise’ and ‘advise’ are the verbs
and ‘practice‘ and ‘advice’ are the nouns:
You must practise the piano if you are to improve.
There is a cricket practice in the nets today.
I advise you to behave yourself.
She always refused to take advice.
