Confusing word pairs in English - Free Spoken English Lesson
Some words In English will confuse you because you may feel that their meanings are the same. But the truth is that it’s actually quite the opposite. It is important that you don’t get confused anymore by understanding their difference and using the words in the right way-AT THE RIGHT PLACE IN A SENTENCE. Let’s have a look at a few of them:

Refuse-Not do something, or say firmly that you will NOT do it
