This is an easy word to get mixed up for some. They both mean to take oxygen into your lungs but they are very different in how they sound and read.
Here is an quick and easy tip that will have you on-track with usage and spelling.
When you see the word ‘Breathe’ just remember that the ‘E’ at the end makes it and ‘E’ sound in the middle like: ‘Just Breathe in and out,’ with the stress on the ‘E’.
Breath, on the other hand is Br-(eh)-th. to ‘Stop and catch your breath.’
It is very easy to get these mixed up. It’s okay. It happens to everyone! The art of language is not something you were born with, you had to learn it. So don’t think that you were born behind the learning curve. We all have to learn breath from breathe along with a number of other words.
I hope this tip helped you in some way. Have a great day!
By the way, a Quick Witty Fact: ‘BooKKeeping’ is the only word in the English dictionary that has three ‘double’ letters next to each other. OO-KK-EE. Pretty neat, eh?
