Hello and welcome back to Grammar Lab, the podcast where we distill the complexities of the English language into easy-to-understand lessons for everyday communication. I'm Abby.

Though they sound similar, using one in place of the other can lead to a regrettable mistake indeed. So stay tuned as we dissect these two tricky adjectives and help you choose the appropriate word every time.
