Commonly confused

assess
EN: 'Assess' means to evaluate for the first time; 'reassess' implies a repeated or renewed evaluation, often after new information or changed circumstances.

Spelling tips

EN: Remember the double 's' in the middle: 're-assess' retains both s's from 'assess'. The past tense and participle add '-ed' to give 'reassessed' (not 'reassesed').
