I'll be adding more words little by little. If you know a good example you can post it.
Writing hechar when meaning to throw, to fire, to give (a hand/una mano), to have (a look/un ojo). It should be written echar
You can write a sentence so you can practice. My example:
- Voy a echarle una mano. I'm going to give him/her/it a hand.

"Hay", when the speaker means "Ay"
"!Hay cómo me duele el alma!" - > "¡Ay cómo me duele el alma!"
"Ahi" when the speaker means "Hay" or "Ay"
"Ahi no, ¿cómo dices eso?" ->"¡Ay no! ¿Cómo dices eso?"
"Ahi muchos insectos" -> "Hay muchos insectos".

I can see that happening. In English we have "to," "two," and "too," which people confuse all the time. - --Mariana--, Apr 21, 2010

Lo han echado... if you say "le han echado" means that something has been poured or threw on him. - AntMexico, Apr 21, 2010
le han echado agua / water has been poured on him (?) - AntMexico, Apr 21, 2010
