How to spell write
What it means: To form letters or words on paper with a pen.
In a sentence: I like to write stories about dragons.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as rite or writ.
Sounds like, but is not: right, rite. Same sound, different spelling and meaning.
Same family: writing, wrote, written, rewrite, writer. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: Write comes from Old English "writan," which originally meant "to score or carve runes" on a surface. Over time, the meaning shifted from carving marks to putting words on paper and now to typing on screens.
Patterns it uses: Drop the e before a suffix?
