Is it 𝕕𝕦𝕖 𝕥𝕠 or 𝕓𝕖𝕔𝕒𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕠𝕗? 🤔 


Ever wondered if you're using 𝕕𝕦𝕖 𝕥𝕠 and 𝕓𝕖𝕔𝕒𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕠𝕗 correctly?


Yep, me too. It's nuanced. And it all boils down to nouns and verbs.


Here's a simple breakdown of when to use which one.


And there's a quick tip at the end so you'll never forget again!


➡ 𝔻𝕦𝕖 𝕥𝕠 should modify a noun (like an adjective). 

For example, 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕎𝕚𝕞𝕓𝕝𝕖𝕕𝕠𝕟 𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙 𝕔𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕨𝕒𝕤 𝕕𝕦𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕟.


➡ 𝔹𝕖𝕔𝕒𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕠𝕗 should modify a verb (like an adverb). 

For example, 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕎𝕚𝕞𝕓𝕝𝕖𝕕𝕠𝕟 𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙 𝕨𝕒𝕤 𝕔𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕕 𝕓𝕖𝕔𝕒𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕟.


➡ Use 𝕓𝕖𝕔𝕒𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕠𝕗 or 𝕠𝕨𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 rather than 𝕕𝕦𝕖 𝕥𝕠 at the start of a sentence. 

For example, 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕠𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙 𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕦𝕝𝕥 𝕨𝕒𝕤 𝕕𝕦𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕡𝕠𝕠𝕣 𝕧𝕚𝕤𝕚𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪.

But, 𝕆𝕨𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 (𝕠𝕣 𝕓𝕖𝕔𝕒𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕠𝕗) 𝕡𝕠𝕠𝕣 𝕧𝕚𝕤𝕚𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪, 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙 𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕦𝕝𝕥 𝕨𝕒𝕤 𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕠𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘.


➡ 𝕋𝕆ℙ 𝕋𝕀ℙ: If you can replace 𝕕𝕦𝕖 𝕥𝕠 with 𝕔𝕒𝕦𝕤𝕖𝕕 𝕓𝕪, then you are all good. 


You're welcome 🤓
