Ally vs Alley

Word Wars!!

Ally VS Alley



First of all... they are pronounced differently.

ally sounds like Al-eye and alley sounds like Al-ee

An ally is a friend, someone who is on YOUR side. The plural is allies.
Countries have allies. From this comes alliance.

An alley is a small, narrow street or passage, usually only for pedestrians. The plural is alleys.
This city has may alleys. We also say 'alley-ways'. 

Have a great Tuesday and beware of walking in dark alleys at night!! ;)
