True
There is an indispensable tool for all of us who like to treat our language well and use it as well as possible: Dictionary. Every time you doubt a word, check it with the dictionary and you will solve that error.
If we take the dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish language and look for the term sure we will realize that does not appear. This is because sure is not an accepted word in our language, therefore it is incorrect.
Certain
So, we already know that the correct way to write it is true. True is a curious word, since depending on the place it occupies within the sentence it can have different meanings, that is, it can be used to talk about different things.
- When it appears after the noun it is used to say that something is safe, true and reliable. Example: That I am leaving home is a certain thing.
- When it precedes the noun it means something or someone not determined, which is not meant or is not meant to be specified. Example: I want to talk to you and tell you a certain thing.
- When it fulfills the attribute function it means that someone or something is safe and trusts 100% about something. This expression has been losing force in contrast to “I’m sure”, but in certain Spanish-speaking areas it is still used. Example: I am sure that you will be reinstated in the company.
Origin of the confusion between true and true
There are many people who do not know how to write true or true, something that has a very clear explanation that we will give below.
Given that in a large part of the Spanish-speaking countries, at the oral level there is no differentiation between the sound of the s and of the c -as long as they appear before the vowels e and i-, it is common that when writing it, they may have doubts as to which of the two letters it is.
True or true are not the only two words that can lead to confusion, the same happens with other terms such as I feel and percent or assignment and session.
