Grammar Helper: Appraise vs. Apprise

This entry is part 4 of 22 in the series, Writing Helper.

To appraise something means to get its value estimated. For example,”Our loan officer says the house must be appraised.”

To apprise is to let someone know about something. So, “We apprised our supervisor of the situation.”
