Commonly Confused Words

Get 64 commonly confused words speaking cards for intermediate learners that stop B1-B2 adult students mixing up borrow and lend, say and tell, remember and remind, rob and steal, fun and funny, raise and rise, fewer and less - and get them choosing the right word while they talk about their own life, work and plans.

• Fix the most common confused word pairs in English with 32 word-pair cards: every card gives both words with a short meaning line and the grammar pattern (tell + person, raise + object, fewer + countable), then one question for each word, so the student has to use borrow in one answer and lend in the next, bring and then take, advice and then advise; a follow-up question on every card keeps the conversation going.
• Separate three words that sound or look alike with sixteen B1-B2 cards on groups such as hear / listen to / sound, refuse / deny / reject, small / little / few, earn / win / gain, lie / lay / lie, accept / except / expect and price / cost / fee, with a question for each word and a challenge round that turns the three answers into one story.
• Use confused words in real-life situations with sixteen B2 role-plays: borrowing a friend's car, a missed train, returning a jacket that doesn't fit, a break-in at a hotel, renting a flat, a job interview, a pitch to an investor; the chip on every card names three target words (students use at least two correctly), selected cards add a teacher twist the student must react to, and there is no model answer on the card - the student produces the language.
