1. **Be consistent:** If you use American spelling, use it throughout your essay or answers.
|
||||
2. **Vocabulary matters:** Use common American terms in both Writing and Speaking.
|
||||
3. **Pronunciation:** Make sure your accent matches your vocabulary choice.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Both American and British English are accepted in IELTS, but consistency improves clarity and avoids confusion.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. -our vs -or
|
||||
|
||||
BrE: colour, favour, honour
|
||||
|
||||
AmE: color, favor, honor
|
||||
|
||||
Rule: British English keeps the “u” in many words ending with -our.
|
||||
|
||||
2. -re vs -er
|
||||
|
||||
BrE: centre, metre, litre
|
||||
|
||||
AmE: center, meter, liter
|
||||
|
||||
Rule: British English usually uses -re; American English switches to -er.
|
||||
|
||||
3. -ise vs -ize
|
||||
|
||||
BrE: realise, organise, recognise
|
||||
|
||||
AmE: realize, organize, recognize
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Both spellings exist in BrE, but -ise is more common in the UK; AmE prefers -ize.
|
||||
|
||||
4. -ll vs -l in verbs
|
||||
|
||||
BrE: travelled, labelled, cancelling
|
||||
|
||||
AmE: traveled, labeled, canceling
|
||||
|
||||
Rule: British doubles the consonant in some verb forms; American does not.
|
||||
|
||||
5. -ogue vs -og
|
||||
|
||||
BrE: dialogue, catalogue, analogue
|
||||
|
||||
AmE: dialog, catalog, analog
|
||||
|
||||
6. -ce vs -se
|
||||
|
||||
BrE: defence, licence (noun)
|
||||
|
||||
AmE: defense, license
|
||||
|
||||
Tip: In BrE, “license” is the verb; “licence” is the noun. AmE uses “license” for both.
