Here are my simple tips to remember the difference between INCINERATE and INSINUATE.

INCINERATE is a verb describing the process of destroying something in a fire.

You can use INCINERATE in a sentence like this:

“Quick! INCINERATE any incriminating evidence!”

OR

“All of our rubbish gets INCINERATED.”

INSINUATE is a verb meaning to sneakily suggest that something bad is true.

You can use INSINUATE in a sentence like this:

“Are you INSINUATING they had an affair?”

OR

“I’m sorry – I didn’t mean to INSINUATE you cheated on the exam.”

This sentence shows the difference between INCINERATED and INSINUATED in use:

“The police INSINUATED that the criminals had INCINERATED the evidence.”

To remember the difference, remember that toxic waste is burned in an INCINERATOR. The process of burning produces CINders while INSINUATE contains SIN – something that’s often INSINUATED.

I hope these tips help you remember the difference between INCINERATE and INSINUATE in future!
