How good is your English ? Part I
There are many pairs of words in English that sound alike but have different meanings.
Can you tell the difference between :
1. Affect and Effect
2. Access and Excess
3. Accept and Except
4. Beside and Besides
5. Compliment and Complement
Hit comment and try to answer it WITHOUT referring to the dictionary.
More tomorrow ....

Besides- (this is hard)

Udangstar said it all. :)
I think effect can be a verb too, means causing an effect on something.
udangstar got pretty much everything heh..
besides = in addition to this (in the context of "besides this") ?
I think udangstar has got it all correct, jean as well.
Well done people.
Anyway, my sincere apologies for this much delayed response. Something has been keeping me busy for the past week.
