What Is the Difference Between “Bear” and “Bare”?

[smithudee]

I often get confused between the words bear and bare. Can someone explain the difference between bear vs bare with examples?

Bear is to carry, to endure, or it can be said to be the animal, whereas bare is uncovered or exposed. Such as: I can not endure the pain. “His feet are bare.”

“Bear” means to carry or endure something, while “bare” means uncovered or exposed.
Example: I can’t bear the pain, but she walked on the bare floor.
