English can be a very tricky language to learn; sometimes native speakers even have trouble distinguishing words and phrases from each other. Here are ten of what I personally think are some of the trickiest words in English, and descriptions to help you tell the differences.
Adverse/ Averse – Adverse means something that is particularly difficult or antagonistic, for example “adverse circumstances”. Averse on the other hand means to have a strong feeling of opposition against something. Example, “I am averse to drinking alcohol”.
We’ll bring you guys some more tricky words in the future, but for now, keep these five in your head so you don’t make these common mistakes and ask your neighborhood farmer how much it costs to buy his diary!
