Common Mix-ups

I have spent the weekend reading student papers for my Learning Strategies class and ran across words that students commonly confuse:

Quiet – not noisy

Quite – completely or to a considerable extent

Due – a date when something should be completed

Do – an action or a task

Their – possession

There – location
They’re – contraction of “they are”

To – in the direction of

Too – more than enough or also
Two – the number 2

Suite – two or more rooms

Sweet – a sugary taste or pleasant

Keep these in mind the next time you are writing a paper.    Your professor will have an easier time following your ideas if their comprehension is not interrupted by incorrect words.
