    Kerb/curb
    Message from angrepa posted on 08-10-2013 at 00:43:46 (D | E | F)
    Hello,
    in exercises about homophones, NŠ 101460 - sentence 9 > -...curbs and in NŠ 101544 - sentence 12 > kerb.
    I looked up in a dictionary but I cannot make out the difference between curb/curbstone and kerb. Arenīt they the same?
    Iīd appreciate your help.

    Hullo

    Curb is also a verb. To curb is to check or restrain
    The government needs to curb spending.
