如果你在单词拼写中分不清楚fore-和for-，那你需要了解一下两个单词的区别。

以for-开头的单词

for- 加在词的开头，一般带有‘banning’, ‘neglecting’, ‘doing without’, or ‘giving up’（禁止、忽略、不带有、放弃）的含义；例如：

forbid = ‘refuse to allow’ 不允许

forbear = ‘stop yourself from doing something’ 让自己停止做某事

forfeit = ‘give something up’ 放弃某事

相对而言for- 较为不常见，以下是一些常见的以for-开头的单词forgive; forgiveness; forlorn; forbearance; forget; forgetful; forsake; forswear; forgo 

以fore-开头的单词

fore-用于表示 ‘before’, ‘in advance’, or ‘in front of’（以前、提前、在…位置之前）的含义。可以组成forecourt (= an open area in front of a building) 建筑物前的开阔场地、前院，或是 forecast (= say what will or might happen in the future)预报。

以fore-开头的词汇有很多：forefront; foresight; forearm; foreman; foreboding; foregone; forename; forestall; foreground; foretaste; forerunner; forehead; foretell; foresee; forethought; forefather; foreshadow; forewarn; forefinger; foreshore; foreword.

有些以for-和fore-开头的单词读音相同，例如forbear (stop yourself from doing something, 忍耐) 与forebear (ancestor 祖先)。如果还是不清楚到底单词的拼写，欢迎使用https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/查找单词含义。​
