Spot the spelling mistake

Hello, and welcome to Myriora English! Here, a sentence is split into sections. One section may have a spelling mistake. Or there may be no mistake at all.

Here's how to check. Read one section at a time, slowly. Look at each word as it's written, not as you expect it to be.

Let's try it. The first section looks fine. The next word doesn't look right. The rule is i before e, except after c. So the word should be receive, and the mistake is in section B.

Watch for three traps. Double letters, as in beginning. Silent letters, as in island. And words that sound the same, like their and there.

Let's try one together. Which section has the mistake? Here's a tip: read each word as it's written. Say it out loud!

The answer is section B! That word should be excited, with a C.

Here's a common mistake. Thinking that every sentence has a mistake. Some don't. If every section is right, choose no mistake.

Your turn! Which section has the mistake? Pick the right card. You've got ten seconds, or pause the video. Go!

Time's up! The answer is section B! Wednesday has a silent D.

Quick review. Read one section at a time. Look at each word as it's written. Watch for double letters, silent letters and words that sound the same. Remember, there may be no mistake. See you next time!
