Learners sometimes confuse "relay" with "rely" because they look similar. "Relay" (with an a) means to pass on information, while "rely" (with a y) means to depend on someone or something. Another mistake is using "repeat" instead of "relay": "repeat" means say again to the same person, while "relay" means pass the message to someone else.
