Today we’re focusing on a really useful topic: pairs of phrases that look similar, sound similar, but actually mean different things. These are the kinds of small details that can confuse learners. And when you mix them up, sometimes people still understand you — but it doesn’t sound quite right.

  • At the end versus In the end

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to use these four phrases in conversations, at work, and in everyday life.
