Word of the week - two words this time!



dessert
noun
something sweet that you eat after the main part of the meal
- For dessert we had ice-cream and cake.


desert
noun
a large area of very hot dry land where few plants grow
- The Sahara desert is in North Africa.


These two words look almost the same.
You can remember them this way:


dessert has a double S
dessert = something sweet

desert has one S
desert = there's only one S in Sahara
