Episode 1057 - Stop Mixing Up Check, Confirm, and Make Sure

0:00 7:43

Can you check the schedule? I just want to confirm our reservation. Make sure you bring your passport. Check, confirm, and make sure. These words seem pretty similar, right? They all involve checking information somehow. But sometimes it's easy to mix them up. Can you say, “Please confirm the weather?” Or, “I checked that my friend came to the party”? Or maybe, “Make sure the reservation”? Hmm… something sounds a little strange there. So today, we’re going to look at how you can actually use check, confirm, and make sure in everyday English.
