    Confusion reigns…

    Alas, the confusion doesn’t end there: both rein and reign can be used as verbs as well as nouns. As a verb, reign literally means ‘rule as a monarch’:

    v Queen Elizabeth reigns over the UK.

    and has also gained the extended meaning ‘be dominant or the best’:

    v All around him, chaos and disorder reigned.

    v In America, baseball reigns supreme.

    Similarly, the verb rein means ‘control a horse by pulling on the reins’:

    v He reined his horse to a halt.



    I hope this clarrification helped
