Ad vs Add

Here are 9 sentences to help you keep ad and add straight, two words that sound almost the same but mean very different things. Ad is short for advertisement, while add means to put more of something in. You choose the right word for prompts like "Billboard ___s usually have catchy words or pictures and a phone number" and "Mary Poppins advised to ___ a spoonful of sugar." Recommended for beginners, and easy enough for younger learners too. Worth noticing: the single letter d is the only thing standing between an advertisement and a math operation.
