These common words are challenging for many learners. Words like why, which, who, and whom are particularly tricky. It’s essential to understand how to use and spell these words correctly in order to communicate clearly and confidently. For instance, we use why to ask about reasons, which to choose between options, who to inquire about people, and whom when referring to the object of a verb. Learning these words is key to improving your spelling and writing skills. To practice, try a spelling game for a fun way to reinforce your learning!
