Improve Your Spelling
I before E except after C? Making plurals with -s or -es (or -ies)? In English, spelling can be tricky and inconsistent. And you can’t always rely on pronunciation for clues—English is full of words that sound alike but don’t share the same spelling, like "there" and "their." A standard spell check can tell you if your word is spelled wrong, but not when you’re using a correctly spelled word in the wrong context. Understanding the spelling conventions of English will help you improve your writing. We’ve got plenty of tips to help you whip your spelling into shape.
There, their, they’re. English is full of commonly confused words that sound alike but don’t share spellings. Get familiar with the ones most likely to trip you up.
