In general,you have to remember the differences between "传（chuan）"and "传（zhuan）" over and over again,but you can ask more about such words.
Just like their meanings,usage of these words relate to there pronounciation.Usually "传 chuan" is more widely used than "传zhuan",and "传" of "chuan" is normally taken as a verb while the one of "zhuan" as a noun.
Good luck!
