There are some words related to work that can be very confusing, as they sound similar but have very different meanings. For example:
Employer- the person who employs people (the boss).
Employee- the person who works for the employer.
Or sometimes, the words don't sound the same, but the meaning can be fairly similar.
E.g.
Retire- to leave your job after working a long period of time.
Quit - to leave your job for other reasons e.g. you don’t like your boss.
In the following sentences, which word fits in the sentence? Can you give a brief explanation of each word used?
