What is the correct spelling of the word that means "to receive something" and sounds like "except," but has a different meaning? Explain the difference between this word and "except.

Question

There are two words that sound similar but have different meanings: "accept" and "except." One means to receive or agree to something, while the other means to exclude something. The challenge is to identify which word means "to receive" and spell it correctly.

Answer 1

Accept- to recieve

Answer 2

What is the difference between accept and except?

Accept and except are frequently confused, but they are totally different words. Accept is a verb meaning to willingly receive, allow, or approve of something or someone.

Accept Examples:

a. She's still trying to get her manuscript accepted for publication.

b. I accepted his advice and joined the health club.

Except is mainly used as a preposition meaning excluding or not including.

Except Examples:

a. The police officer worked every day except on Sunday's.

b. The twins look exactly alike except that one is slightly taller.

Homophones are words pronounced alike but different in meaning or spelling.

Answer 3

Think of 'except' as similar to exit--something is being left out or leaving.

The word you are looking for is 'accept; or to welcome or receive something or someone

Many times you can find similar prefixes at the beginning of words that you can use as a good trick to remember the difference between words that sound alike but are spelled differently

Answer 4

The correct spelling of the word you're looking for is "accept."

"Accept" means to receive something, like when you get a gift or agree to an invitation. For example, if someone gives you a present, you accept it.

On the other hand, "except" means to leave something out or not include it. For example, if you say, "Everyone is going to the party except me," it means you are not going.

So, remember:

1. Accept = to receive.
2. Except = to leave out.

Even though they sound similar, they have different meanings!

Answer 5

The correct answer is "accept". Except means to exclude something, while accept means to take something in/receive something. Here is an example of how you can use accept (change the word "accept" to "receive" and see how it still works):

I accepted her invitation to the party.

AKA I received her invitation to the party. (Both work)

Answer 6

The correct spelling is accept. "Accept" means to receive or agree to something, while "except" means to leave out or exclude.
