Last Updated : 2023-06-21

- 영어를 사용하다 보면 너무 비슷하게 보이는 단어들과 그 단어들의 활용이 어려울 때가 있습니다. 철자 하나 다른 것 때문에 말의 의미가 달라집니다.
- 특히 회화에서는 “아 다르고 어 다르다”라는 말처럼 조금의 차이로 나의 말이 전달되지 않을 수도 있습니다.
- 11~13강은 단어들의 차이점을 가지고 회화의 활용을 알아보겠습니다.

Accept / Except

Accept is a verb, which means to agree to take something .
For example: "I always accept good advice."

Except is a preposition or conjunction, which means not including.
For example: "I teach every day except Sunday(s)."

Advice / Advise

Advice is a noun, which means an opinion that someone offers you about what you should do or how you should act in a particular situation.
For example: "I need someone to give me some advice."

Advise is a verb, which means to give information and suggest types of action.
For example: "I advise everybody to be nice to their teacher."
Often in English the noun form ends in ~ice and the verb form ends in ~ise.

Affect / Effect

Affect and effect are two words that are commonly confused.
affect is usually a verb (action) - effect is usually a noun (thing)
