  6. yeah I agree with Miriam, the main difference between these two words (SEE and SIT) are the pronunciation. As english has more phonemes we confuse the sounds and pronunciation with our mother tongue, which is Spanish.

  8. I agree with you. The difference between the two words SEE and SIT is the pronunciation since the phonemes /I/ and /i/ have different sounds.
