Thank you We sneak ash sure ensure ensure allah shmoop

00:09

yeah sure insure ensure Yeah if you're in a wind

00:12

tunnel they all sound basically the same But while these

00:15

three grammatical bad boys all quasi related they are different

00:20

The word ash shura means to reassure someone or the

00:23

promise For example sarah assured her mom that she wouldn't

00:27

wreck the family car but that's what you said last

00:30

time the word ensure that's ensure with annie it means

00:35

to make certain or to guarantee so sarah's Mom ensured

00:39

sarah would drive safely by riding shotgun on the way

00:42

to the mall not cool syrup So when you assure

00:47

someone it's more of a verbal thing to put their

00:50

minds at ease but when you ensure that something will

00:53

happen you're taking direct action to make sure it really

00:56

comes to fruition are happening You're not just blowing hot

00:59

air the word insure On the other hand ensure with

01:06

an eye also means to make certain to guarantee but

01:10

you only used this word when you're talking about insurance

01:14

Seriously for example paris mon ensured the family car up

01:19

the wazoo when sarah got her license It's going to

01:22

cost me how much in this case we're saying that

01:25

sara's mom is paying a monthly premium so that one

01:27

sarah inevitably smashes the prius Her mother won't be financially

01:31

responsible for all the repairs We can assure you that

01:36

you'll probably use ensure with e over ensure with an

01:40

eye in your classes i assure you i wouldn't lie

01:43

about the rules since ensure with an i is really

01:49

only used when you're talking to other drivers and the

01:51

cops and as a wise woman once said and your 00:01:55.561 --> [endTime] parents good luck with that
