they are often confused, but they are actually very different words and represent entirely different parts of speech.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-347" src="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/dual-versus-duel.png" alt="dual versus duel" width="750" height="208" srcset="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/dual-versus-duel.png 750w, http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/dual-versus-duel-300x83.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></p> <p><em>Dual </em>is an adjective that describes double or two of something.</p> <ul> <li>The dual engines on the car make it go faster.</li> </ul> <p><em>Duel, </em>on the other hand, can be used as a noun verb, but most commonly as a noun to describe a type of combat or fight between two people.</p> <ul> <li>The duel was scheduled for high noon.<strong><br /> </strong></li> </ul> <h2>When to Use Dual in a Sentence</h2> <p><strong>Dual meaning: </strong><em>Dual </em>is used as an adjective to describe two of something. It can be used to describe two of something physical, but it can also be used to describe a two-sided personality or characteristic of someone or something.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>“When we talk about the dual nature of electric vehicles as energy and mobility assets this is really what we’re talking about.” Source: <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2019/11/12/all-the-grid-batteries-we-need-and-more-will-soon-be-under-our-noses/#4addfba736e3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a></p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>The dual pipes were used for drinking water and sewage at the facility.</p> <p>As you can see from the above examples, the first one is used to describe a characteristic of something, while the second is used to describe two of something in a physical sense.</p> <h2>Phrases That Use Dual</h2> <p>One of the most commonly used phrases that includes <em>dual </em>relates to citizenship.</p> <ul> <li>“Jack is a dual citizen of both the United States and Canada.”</li> </ul> <h2>When to Use Duel in a Sentence</h2> <p><strong>Duel meaning: </strong><em>Duel</em> is derived from the French word <em>duel</em>, which was taken from the Latin word <em>duellum</em>, meaning man-to-man combat.</p> <p>As a noun, <em>duel </em>has the same meaning today.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>“The showdown lived up to its billing as a duel between two high-powered offenses and star quarterbacks with President Donald Trump attending.” [Noun] Source: <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/09/joe-burrow-leads-lsu-to-win-over-alabama-in-thriller/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a></p> <p>Here we see duel being used to describe such a man-to-man combat, or in this example’s case, a team-to-team combat.</p> <p><strong>When used </strong>as a verb, <em>duel</em> describes the actual act of taking part in a <em>duel</em><strong>. </strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>At high noon we will duel to the death.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>“Johnson and Corbyn duel in first televised debate of UK election.” [Verb] Source: <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/11/johnson-corbyn-duel-televised-debate-uk-election-191119232405725.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Jazeera</a></p> <h2>Phrases That Use Duel</h2> <p>The participle form of the verb <em>duel </em>is part of the title of the song “Dueling Banjos.” This song featured in the 1972 film <em>Deliverance</em>. Dueling piano bars are also a popular attractions.</p> <h2>Dual or Duel – Keeping Them Straight</h2> <p>It is important to remember that <em>dual</em> is an adjective, while <em>duel </em>can be used as a noun or verb, so knowing the context will certainly help.</p> <p>You can also use a mnemonic trick to help keep these tricky words apart. Remember that <em>dual </em>often relates to a person’s citizenship status and that in America you are allowed to have dual citizenship with some countries. America begins with the letter “A,” which is in <em>dual </em>the adjective, but not in <em>duel</em>.</p> <h2>Test Your Knowledge</h2> <p>Use either <strong><em>dual </em></strong>or <strong><em>duel </em></strong>correctly in each sentence.</p> <ol> <li>The _______ purpose of the study was to educate the public and to hopefully find an answer to the problem.</li> <li>The two gunslingers agree to a gun __________ on main street.</li> <li>The brave samurai said he would _______ the oppressive feudal lord to the death.</li> <li>He just didn’t know how the _________ program was supposed to help.</li> </ol> <p>See the answers below.</p> <h2>Recap: When to use Dual or Duel</h2> <p>These two words may sound alike, but they represent different parts of speech and have different meanings.
