sentence

Correct spelling, explanation: the word sentence is a very common word in English. However, some of the language users tend to forget that it should be spelled with the -c consonant and write it with the -s instead. You have to avoid that mistake. Sentense is not correct – we can learn that from the etymology.

Incorrect spelling

sentense

Incorrect spelling, explanation: there is no reason why someone should write the word sentence with the -s consonant instead of the -c consonant. The original verb comes from Latin and French and we have to look at its roots while spelling. The mistake may occur due to pronunciation (like many other errors), but the only correct form is sentence, not sentense.
