Apart of (a part of, apart from)

One common mistake in English is confusing the phrases "apart of", "a part of", and "apart from". These phrases may sound similar, but they have different meanings and are used in different contexts.

"Apart of"

The phrase "apart of" is a common mistake where the person meant to say "a part of". For example:

• Incorrect: She is apart of the team.
• Correct: She is a part of the team.

In this case, "a part of" is used to indicate that someone or something is included or involved in a particular group or entity.

"Apart from"

The phrase "apart from" is used to indicate exclusion or differentiation. It shows that something or someone is different or distinct from others. For example:

• Correct: Apart from John, everyone attended the meeting.

Here, "apart from" is used to indicate that John was the only person who did not attend the meeting.

It's important to note that the adverb or adjective "apart" means separated or divided and should be spelled as one word. For example:

• Incorrect: The two houses were a part from each other.
• Correct: The two houses were apart from each other.
