Work vs. Job 
Work is what you do to earn money.

Job is the particular type of work that you do.

💬

Jeremy: She's got a job as a teacher.

Remember vs. Remind 

If you remember something, a fact or event from the past or something you earlier decided to do, comes back to your mind.

💬 

Marry: This is Carla. Do you remember her❓

James: Yes, of course.

If you reminds you to do something, or something reminds you of something, they make you remember it.

If you want to talk about the place where you have left something, use the verb leave, not the verb forget.

If you listen to something or someone, you pay attention to the words, sounds and music that they are making.

Sorry, I wasn´t listening.

Fun vs. Funny

Use fun to talk about events and activities that are enjoyable, such as games and parties.

💬
