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? |
