Difference Between SAVE Vs SAFE by Ajmuluq(m): 9:47pm On Jan 22, 2018
This is an interesting one. We know what we’re saying, yet when we write, we get both words mixed up. In fact, there shouldn’t be a confusion because the words are not even homophones . They are pronounced a little differently. One is spelt with a “ v ” and the other with an “ f “.

save (v.) – to keep (there are other meanings as well)

safe (adj.) – not in danger, protected

Examples:

I had to "SAFE" myself because the fire could not be extinguished. (X)

I had to "SAVE" myself because the fire could not be extinguished. (√)

They are now "SAVE" from the horrible weather. (X)

They are now "SAFE" from the horrible weather. (√)


Now that you know the difference, make sure you save
your money in a safe place. Make sure you know how to spell the word correctly. Often what you speak is not what you write. Isn’t English interesting?
