1.
It's and Its: - "It's" is a contraction meaning "it
is." Example: It's hot today. "Its" is a possessive form.
Example: I read the book with all of its 500 pages.
2.
You, Your, and You're: While the previous example is a grammatical
error, the confusion of you and your is often a typo. You're is the contraction
of "you are" and some people confuse it with your. Examples: You're a
good person. Your sincerity is admirable.
3.
Lose and Loose: Loose can have several meanings in English and is used
as an adjective, adverb, or a verb (although that's not very common). Here are
some examples: Unattended children ran loose through the store. That person has
a pretty loose reputation. But lose is always a verb: His boss told him to lose
his negative attitude while serving customers.
4.Compliment
and Complement: - If you like your colleague's way of expressing
herself, you'll compliment her on her communication skills. Complement is most
commonly used to indicate that something completes a set or matches it well.
Example: His positive attitude complements his wide knowledge of the product,
making him a very effective salesman.
