Ways to tell them apart:
- Apart is one word, while a part is two words; this is a key visual difference.
- Apart indicates separation or distance, while a part refers to a portion or segment of a whole.
- Remember: Apart often goes with words like from or set, as in set apart, but a part is usually part of a phrase indicating inclusion, like a part of the team.
- When you mean to indicate separation, use apart. For inclusion or piece of something, use a part.
- Apart can signal exclusion, as in set apart from the rest, unlike a part which often signifies belonging.
