James
Hi everyone! Today's English In A Minute is all about the words assure, ensure and insure.
They're often confused because they sound very similar.
To assure means 'to remove any doubt'.
It's followed by an object pronoun, for example:
My friend assured me that he would come to the party.
To ensure means 'to make sure that something happens'.
This verb is not followed by an object pronoun, for example:
I called the bakery to ensure the cake would be ready for the party.
To insure means 'to protect something with an insurance policy', for example:
I insured my car against theft.
