They confuse people because they are verbs that seem like the same word with same meaning when actually they are different words with different meaning.
An example is "fall" and "fell". To fall, is simply to drop to the ground. To fell is to cut down, to knock somebody or something down, as in to fell a tree with an axe. The confusion comes when the past tense of "fall" is "fell"; but the past tense of "fell" is "felled". Got it?
