Here are two homophones (since my previous post was about homophones and homonyms I thought this would be appropriate) that can be confusing especially when it comes to spelling.
So, what's the difference??
Principal (adj) = most important / chief
e.g. The principal concern is education.
Principal (noun) = a person that has controlling authority or is in a leading position, such as in a school (head teacher)
e.g. Mr. Smith is our principal. He's the man wearing the blue tie.
whereas...
Principle (noun) = a comprehensive and fundamental law or assumption (like morals) / a primary source
e.g. He never strays far from his principles, so don't challenge him.
How's that? Have you been using these words in the right way? I hope this helps you to use these homophones correctly! 😁
Have a great day! 😊😊👍
