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.''

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.

- house → houses
- girl → girls
However, there are some exceptions, depending on the letter with which the noun ends.
When the singular noun ends in -f, we drop the -f and add -ves to form the plural.
This is why the plural of proof is prooves.
Other examples of plurals of nouns ending in -f are:
- Thief → thieves
- calf → calves
- half → halves
