Ways to tell them apart:
- "A part" indicates a piece of something larger, so remember it as being included with others.
- "Apart" often suggests separation, so think of it as detached from or not together.
- If you can insert "of" after "a part" (making it "a part of"), you're likely using the correct form.
- "Apart" isn't followed by "of" in grammatically correct English.
- Visualize apart as a separate block from a whole, reinforcing its meaning of separation.
