English has a lot of confusing words, like “specially” and “especially,” or “distinct” and “distinctive,” or “compliment” and “complement.”
You might wonder, “What’s the real difference? When do I use THIS word and not THAT one?” Those doubts can make you hesitate to speak English because you’re afraid of making mistakes.

This lesson will be focusing on some confusing English words - HOMONYMS - words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings.
They are especially important when you are writing in English. When you are speaking, it doesn’t really matter, does it? Because they sound exactly the same!! But as soon as you write it down… that’s where you’ll run into trouble! Especially, if you’re sitting an exam, writing an essay or an important email!
