The difference between "eminent" and "imminent" is that "eminent" is a synonym of such terms as "distinguished", "outstanding", "famous", "notable" and "superior" while "imminent" is a synonym of such terms as "impending", "looming", "possible", "approaching" and "coming". Example only: I'm not interested in being eminent in the world's eyes, because from what I observe, it means trouble is imminent more often than not.
The difference between "continual" and "continuous" is that "continual" may be defined as "continuing indefinitely in time without interruption" or "recurring in steady usually rapid succession" while "continuous" may be defined as "marked by uninterrupted extension in space, time, or sequence". Example only: At my last job, while I was able to keep up continuous attendance without taking any days off, it didn't mean all my paydays were continual.
The difference between "tern" and "turn" is that a "tern" is a chiefly marine bird of the family Laridae and the subfamily Sterninae while "turn" is often a verb or noun synonymous with such terms as "rotate", "swing", "deviate", "become", "ponder", "depend", "persuade", "walk" and "kindness". Example only: Not long after I turned onto the next street, a tern almost bumped right into my windshield, but at least it didn't block my view too long.
The difference between "emigrate" and "immigrate" is that "emigrate" is a synonym of such terms as "relocate", "move", "bail", "exit" and "depart" while "immigrate" Is a synonym of such terms as "come", "arrive", "remain", "stay" and "settle". Example only: I once considered emigrating, but becoming fluent in a second language doesn't require that, and now I think it's better to speak out about anyone immigrating to my home country and not bothering to learn my native language.
