The English language contains many words that are similar in both spelling and meaning but are used differently. Understanding the differences in these types of words will help you in both your reading and writing. In this lesson, we will compare the words ''breath'' and ''breathe.''
Breath vs. Breathe
Small spelling differences can make a big difference in your writing. Forgetting a letter, or adding one too many, can change the meaning, make your writing confusing, and undermine your credibility as a writer.
The difference between 'breath' and 'breathe' is a classic example. They only have one letter difference, and they mean similar things, but they actually have completely different jobs in a sentence. That is because they are different parts of speech, meaning they have different functions in a sentence. Using the wrong word will make your whole sentence grammatically incorrect and confusing to the reader.
Take a Breath In
'Breath' (rhymes with death) is a noun, and as you probably remember, a noun is a person place or thing. It describes the thing, the air, that comes into and goes out of your lungs when you breathe, which is what makes it a noun. The sentences below show the proper usage of the word breath:

Answer:
<em>What would your sister say, which path leads to safety?</em>
Explanation:
"The identical twins" is a famous riddle in many countries and with many variations, but the core remains the same; one twin always lies, the other one always tells the truth.
So, the correct question to answer would be: "What would your sister say, which path leads to safety?", and whatever answer may be, you always take the other path.
Let's make the presumption that the right path is towards safety. If you ask the truth-telling twin what would her sister say, she knows that her sister would lie and that she would say the left. Since she always tells the truth her answer would be left.
If you ask the lying sister the same question, she knows that her sister would say the right way, but because she lies, her answer would be the left.
So, both sisters will answer identically to this question so the only thing to do now is to take the another path.
The correct answer to the question presented above is:
Tutankhamun had many responsibilities.
<span>Despite his minor age to rule as king, he had so
many responsibilities after the death of his father. He had to restore the
reputation of his kingdom, build stronger relationship with ancient neighbors,
and reversed traditional beliefs. In relation to this, he had to study different
forms of discipline from trusted advisers to become a good leader.</span>
