The booklet can be used and adapted in a number of ways, but I’ve suggested a process below.

  1. Ask students to define the two words and then explain the subtle differences in meaning
  2. Discuss how the words are used in the two short sentences
  3. Ask students to construct two sentences of their own
  4. Ask students to think of other synonyms

Hopefully, the word pairings will lead to some good quality discussion and debate.  You can access a similar booklet on commonly confused words by clicking here.

Hope the stuff’s useful.  Feedback always welcome –
