- As a noun, "belief" usually appears with an article (a/an/the) or a possessive. Try counting how many times you can use it in one sentence about your own life, then write one sentence about yesterday.
- Common mistake
- Spelling: belief (noun) vs believe (verb) — 'I believe in my beliefs'. Plural is beliefs, not believes.
