pronounced exactly the same, they have quite different meanings, as they are different parts of speech.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343" src="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/course-versus-coarse.png" alt="course versus coarse" width="750" height="208" srcset="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/course-versus-coarse.png 750w, http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/course-versus-coarse-300x83.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></p> <p><em>Course </em>is most commonly used as a noun to refer to a path or an educational class.</p> <ul> <li>He sure spends a lot of time on the golf course.</li> </ul> <p><em>Coarse</em>, on the other hand, is always an adjective.</p> <ul> <li>It usually denotes something that is rough: “The sandpaper is very course.”</li> </ul> <h2>When to use Course in a Sentence</h2> <p><strong>Course Meaning: </strong><em>Course </em>is commonly used as a noun to refer to a path or direction.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>“Trump reverses course on banning flavored e-cigarettes.” [Noun] Source: <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2019/11/18/20971346/flavored-vaping-ban-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Sun-Times</a></p> <p>Another common meaning of <em>course</em> is in reference to educational classes.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example:</strong> What course do you want to take together this semester?</p> <p><em>Course</em> is also often used as a noun in reference to the type of conduct a person conducts.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>Their course of conduct was most admirable.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>The code also requires officials and employees to “endeavor to pursue a course of conduct which will not raise suspicion among the public that he is likely to be engaged in acts that are in violation of his trust,” the letter said. [Noun] Source: <a href="https://www.newsday.com/long-island/towns/thomas-mccarthy-smithtown-councilman-violated-ethics-code-board-rules-1.9622737" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsday</a></p> <p>A more archaic use of <em>course </em>is as a verb, often to describe hunting.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>We will use the beagles to course the rabbit. [Verb]</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>We will course the fox with our dogs. [Verb]</p> <h2>Phrases That Use Course</h2> <p>There are a couple of notable phrases that use course.</p> <p><strong>“Over the course of many years.”</strong><strong> </strong></p> <ul> <li>We developed a strong relationship over the course of many years.</li> </ul> <p>Although the use of <em>course </em>as a verb is rare, its present participle is part of a commonly used phrase.</p> <p><strong>“Coursing through my/his/her/their veins.”</strong></p> <ul> <li>The blood of heroes was coursing through his veins.</li> </ul> <h2>When to use Coarse in a Sentence</h2> <p><strong>Coarse meaning: </strong><em>Coarse </em>is an adjective that describes something rough or hard. This roughness can describe both tangible and intangible things.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>“Coarse materials were used to construct the building.” [Adjective]</p> <p>In this example, we are describing something that is literally rough to the touch: the materials used in construction.</p> <p>When used to refer to intangible things, <em>coarse </em>can mean <em>rough</em>, <em>abrasive</em>, or <em>polarizing</em>.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>“But the 45th President appears to be presiding over a particularly coarse period of American politics.” [Adjective] Source: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/from-hell-to-lynching-trump-presides-over-a-coarsening-of-american-politics/2019/10/23/fb749aee-f02f-11e9-b2da-606ba1ef30e3_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Post</a></p> <p>The participle form of <em>coarse </em>is also quite common.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>The coarsening of <em>Designated Survivor </em>proves the need for broadcast decency laws.” Source: <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/the-coarsening-of-designated-survivor-proves-the-need-for-broadcast-decency-laws" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a></p> <h2>Phrases That Use Coarse</h2> <p>There aren’t any common phrases that use the word <em>coarse</em>.</p> <h2>Course or Coarse – Keeping Them Straight</h2> <p>So how do you keep <em>course </em>and <em>coarse </em>straight?
