Useful Trick<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next time when you are debating whether breath <\/em>or breathe, <\/em>remember this useful trick:<\/p>\n

There is an \u201ce\u201d in the word \u201cverb\u201d. With an additional \u201ce\u201d at the end of \u201cbreathe<\/em>\u201d, it is a verb.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, there is no extra \u201ce\u201d in both \u201cnoun\u201d and \u201cbreath<\/em>\u201d. Therefore, breath <\/em>is a noun.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYour breath<\/em> is the air that you breathe<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a cold day, you can see your breath<\/em> when you breathe<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
