Herbs, herbs and herbs are three words that, although they are pronounced exactly the same way, are three words that have different meanings from each other.
The bad thing about words that sound the same is that it is a bit complicated to learn to write them correctly, since we always have the doubt if for this meaning it is written this way, for this meaning it is written this way…
In the case of other words, you always know what the correct meaning is, since it is not usually written in another way. For example, if we see the word “drink”, we know that it is impossible to write “vever”, since it sounds strange to us.
However, with herbs, herbs and herbs, as the three are accepted, we don’t really know what the difference is or even which one we should use in each word we write, which causes us even more confusion.
The good thing is that we are here, the experts that we have heard your prayers and we are going to offer you a small tutorial on how to find out the difference between herbs, herbs and herbs, teaching which word you should use in each case and how they are used when writing them on paper, so that you never get confused when doing it again.
What do you need
- Some reading comprehension.
Instructions
- Meaning of grass:
First of all, we must know what the word grass means, with h and with b, in order to later know the difference it has with respect to the others and not get confused like this anymore. The word grass is usually used to designate the grass that we all know, that is, it is grass in the park and all the plants that do not have a trunk. For example, the phrase “in that park there is a lot of grass” would be well said, since the type of grass we are referring to is written this way and there is no other way to name it, so remember that the grass in the park is with hy b. - Meaning of grass:
Now that we know the meaning of grass, it is time to know what grass is. Boil is a word that comes from combining the verb to boil in the third person. It is one of the three words that do not have by and end in bir or buir(boil, serve and live). When something boils, it means that its temperature is very high to the point that it has reached its boiling point, therefore, it is beginning to evaporate (change of state by temperature). In the phrase “let the water boil”, boil means that we let the water reach its boiling point, therefore it is well used. To remember, remember the boil, serve and live rule. - Yerba:
Finally, a word that was not accepted but ended up being accepted is yerba, which is like a literal way of pronouncing “grass”. Its origin is in South America, where the mate plant began to be called yerba. Later it has been extended to other uses, mainly as a way of calling marijuana, due to its resemblance to real grass. Surely the word weed has become popular because of the inability of many young people who smoke marijuana to spell it correctly, but in the end, it has ended up being accepted. A correctly used phrase would be “I’m going to catch Chuki weed”, since the weed we are naming is marijuana, not the park weed. - Summary of the differences:
Now we are going to make a small summary of the biggest differences between the three terms, so that we are never mistaken about this again. The grass with h and with b refers to the noun grass, the herb with hy with v refers to the verb and yerba with “y” and b refers to the drug marijuana and the mate leaves as a noun. The word herb complies with the rule of boiling, serving and living, the word herb is the most common of all and the word yerba is the newest and the last one that has been accepted.
Tips
- Trick to avoid confusion: The trick that I use to avoid confusing these three words is to associate each word with something, such as:
- Grass: This is the most normal way of writing it, which is why I associate it with grass, the countryside, nature, that is, the classic.
- Yerba: Since when I was little those who used to smoke “joints” were the ones who made the most spelling mistakes, I associate it with a vague way of writing, therefore, with marijuana.
- Boil: I use the rule of boil, serve and live to differentiate it.
