BREATH vs. BREATHE: meaning and examples

Good morning,

Today we are going to look at the difference between two words that are often confused because of their spelling, their pronunciation or their meaning.

Today's words are: BREATH vs. TO BREATHE

Meaning of BREATH: The air that circulates in and out of your mouth to bring oxygen to your body and to expel carbon dioxide.

Meaning of TO BREATHE: The action of taking in and expelling air through your mouth.

Example 1:
Most people take short breaths throughout their day. When was the last time that you took a deep breath? Try it! It will send some oxygen to your brain.

Example 2:
Do you feel nervous? Then the best thing to do is to breathe deeply. Breathe in for 4 counts and then breathe out for 6 counts. Breathe like this for a couple of minutes and you will soon feel calmer.

Wow! I really do feel much calmer now. What about you?

Have a relaxing day.
