Learners often confuse “fare” with “fair” because they sound the same. “Fare” is the money you pay to travel, while “fair” can mean “just” or “a public event.” Another mistake is saying *“I bought a fare”*; usually you buy a *ticket* and pay a *fare*.

Learners sometimes say *“fare good”* instead of “fare well.” After “fare,” use an adverb like “well,” “badly,” or “poorly,” not an adjective. Also, do not use “fare” when you only mean “feel”; say “I feel good,” not *“I fare good.”*
