SPEAKING AND WRITING CORRECT GRAMMAR
You are welcome to the English Language grammar class.
Today, we are considering two usually confused words. They are: Secrete/secret
1. Secrete/secret: - Secrete is a verb which means- to produce and release liquids. For example
Glands in the animal’s skin secrete tiny proteins.
2. Secret: It is something that is confidential. That is, something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others. For example, He finds it extremely difficult to keep the secret from the woman he loves.
Please do not use secrete where you mean secret.

SPEAKING AND WRITING CORRECT GRAMMAR
You are welcome to the weekly English Language grammar class. To understand the objective of this online class, kindly read through our first and second lessons on my page.
Today, we are considering the use of the words ‘Its’ and ‘It’s’ which are among the most commonly confused words in English grammar. Please note that the word ‘its’ is a possessive pronoun but ‘it’s’ is a contraction of it is or it has.
Let’s define two important terms connected with these incorrectly used words.
1. A possessive pronoun takes the place of a noun phrase to show ownership/possession. They are: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs.
2. A contraction is a word made by shortening and combining two words. Words like can't (can + not), don't (do + not), and I've (I + have) are all contractions. People use contractions in both spoken and written English.
Now, let’s consider some examples.
Wrong: I don’t believe its finally Friday.
Right: I don’t believe it’s (it is) finally Friday.
Wrong: The cat was licking it’s tail.
Right: The cat was licking its tail.

Thanks for listening. See you next week. Goodbye.
