"They're" vs. "they’re" vs. "There": The difference between these three words is often confusing. "They're" is a contraction of "they are," "their" is a possessive pronoun, and "there" refers to a place. "Your" vs. "You're": "Your" is a possessive adjective, while "you're" is a contraction of "you are". "Its" vs. "It's": "Its" is a possessive pronoun without an apostrophe, while "it's" is a contraction of "it is". "Who" vs. "Whom": "Who" is used as the subject of a sentence or clause, while "whom" is used as the object. "Affect" vs. "Effect": "Affect" is a verb meaning to influence, while "effect" is a noun meaning a result. "Me" vs. "I": The correct usage of "me" and "I" depends on whether the first-person pronoun is a subject or an object. For example, "My mom met me at the store" is correct, but "Me went to the store" is not. "Between" vs. "Among": "Between" is used to refer to two or more things that are clearly separated, while "among" is used to refer to things that are part of a group or mass. "Do's" and "Don'ts": The correct usage of these phrases involves different placement of apostrophes, with "do's" being a plural noun and "don'ts" being a contraction. "i.e." vs. "e.g.": "i.e." means "that is" or "in other words," while "e.g." means "example given" or "for example". "Peek" vs. "Peak" vs. "Pique": These words are often confused due to their similar spellings and meanings. "Peek" means to look quickly, "peak" refers to a high point, and "pique" means to arouse interest. These rules can be challenging even for native English speakers, but understanding them can help improve writing and communication skills.
