Grammar Schmammar

Today my partner and I had to present our grammar scammer to the class. It was about word confusions. Word confusions is when words are similar in sound, spelling, or meaning. I found this topic to be challenging, because not just me but every one had struggle with word confusion. The most common word confusions are its/it's, there/their/they're, choose/chose, and affect/effect. These words sound the same but mean different things. Like "its" is a possessive pronoun, like his or her and "it's" is a contraction with "it is", the apostrophe in it's is a mark of omission not possession. "Their" is a possessive from of they, "there" is expletive used to start a sentence and also an adverb meaning, and "they're" is a contraction of they are. Choose is an irregular verb and chose is the past form. Affect is usually a verb meaning to influence and effect is usually a noun meaning results. They're a lot more words our there that are confusing, but I'm not going to type them all.
