Loose 和 lose

一个是零散的,一个是掉的意思,对不??

It's 是 it is 它是的意思 its (严格拼写是 its')是它们的的意思,对不?

They're 他们是 their 他们的 there这儿对不?

i.e. 和 e.g.不是很区别得开,举例都用后者,没见用前者

Effect 影响 affect 感情

You're 你(们)是 your你(们)的

Different than 和 different from不是很清楚,我猜前者应该是不属于比的那一群,后是属于吧?

Lay 躺下 lie说谎

Then 然后 than比较

Could of, would of 和 could have, would have

不是很了解,MS那个could的语气要强一些吧??

david 说清楚一点啊
