In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These are words which sound the same, but are spelled differently: commonly confused on wikiHow are:  allowed/aloud - allowed means permitted, whereas aloud has the same meaning as out loud bored/board - bored means to have lost interest; a board is a flat piece of wood break/brake - break means to damage, but brake is what you do to slow down a car or a bicycle new/knew - new is the opposite of old whereas knew is the past tense of to know past/passed - past is earlier in time; passed can mean that you did not fail a class or that you went by someone piece/peace - a piece is a part of something (it even has the word pie as its first three letters!); peace on the other hand means absence of noise or hostility sure/shore - sure means certain, but shore means the beach or coastline site/sight - site is the correct spelling when you mean the place where something sits - like a website! Sight on the other hand means something you can see. stairs/stares - stairs are steps; stares is a verb meaning to gaze intently steel/steal - steel is a metal, whereas steal means to take something that does not belong to you they're/their/there They're is a shorter way to say they are. Their is possessive - it's their fault. There is a place - over there. through/threw - through is a direction (as in straight through the door), but threw is the past tense of throw to/too/two - Two naughty boys who went too far went to jail. whether/weather - whether indicates a choice - whether or not, whereas weather means sun, rain, snow etc. which/witch - Which witch is the wicked witch? (apologies to all witches!) whole/hole - whole means complete whereas hole means a gap or space where something is missing right/write - right means correct or the opposite of left, but write means to compose (words or music) your/you're - your is a possessive pronoun, and you're is a contraction, as in saying "You're really good at writing articles." it’s and its cause problems for many people. it’s means ‘it is’ whereas its is the possessive form. Possessive pronouns his, hers and its are the only possessive forms which do NOT have an apostrophe - hence the confusion. The dog wagged its tail.  Other than that, use an apostrophe where one or two letters have been missed out when a word has been contracted - eg. where is becomes where's. Plurals do NOT need an apostrophe. Plural possessives have the apostrophes after the s. The dogs' tails wagged in excitement. advice/advise advice is the noun whereas advise is the verb practice/practise practice is the noun and practise is the verb (in British English) affect/effect - affect is a verb, effect is a noun. So you talk about the effect of something, but affecting someone. Another easy way to remember this is affect = affection while effect = cause and effect. dose/does of/off quiet/quite chose/choose lose/loose accept/except The confusion comes from the contraction - would have becomes would've which sounds like ‘would of’.
Summary: Watch out for homophones. Use apostrophes correctly: Be aware of noun and verb differences in words like: Watch out for words that look similar: Take care not to write ‘of’ instead of ‘have’ after modal verbs such as would, could, should, must, may and might.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Having children requires you and your spouse to be in good physical condition. Take some time to consider how healthy you are and what you can do to improve on your health before trying to become pregnant. For example, if you smoke or your partner smokes, then take steps to quit smoking. If you and your partner are overweight, then take steps to lose weight. Try to pinpoint your health challenges and identify ways that you can improve your health. Before you expand your family, you and your partner should take time to work out any challenges in your relationship. Having children can put a strain on both of you and if you have issues, then it is in your future child’s best interest to try to find a solutions to these issues. For example, if you tend to argue now and then about minor things, then work on improving your communication with your partner. If your issues are larger than small arguments now and then, you may want to consider marriage counseling to help you resolve problems before trying to have a child. Raising a child is expensive, so it is important to consider your ability to provide things like a crib, clothing, food, and toys. If you are struggling with your finances, then you may want to take some time to improve your situation and save a bit of money before you start trying for a  baby. Raising a child also requires lots of teamwork between you and your spouse, so you should be on the same page regarding how you will raise your child. Talk about the values that you and your spouse share and how you can overcome disagreements about values. For example, do you and your spouse share the same ideas about how to discipline your child? Can you agree on what moral values to instill in your child? Do either of you have a strong religious preference? Longer relationships tend to have more stability and this is important for your future child. Consider how long you and your spouse have been together and if your relationship is stable enough for a child. It is a good idea to wait until you have been together for at least one year before deciding to have a child together.
Summary: Think about your health. Examine the strength of your relationship. Evaluate your finances. Compare your ideas about how to raise a child. Consider the length of your relationship.
