Confused by assure, ensure, and insure?
Ever gotten confused as to when you ensure something or insure it?
What about assure? Let’s clear things up!
Ensure: to make sure or certain; guarantee; to protect.
Example: I will ensure its delivery.
Insure: to take out or issue insurance; to pay or be paid money
in the case of loss.
Example: I will insure it for the full amount.
Assure: convince, make sure of something, to give confidence;
to declare or promise confidently.
Example: I assure you, it will arrive on time.
And here’s a word of wisdom from Professor Paul Brians.
