Homophone Headache!

Yesterday in my writing exercise for you, I asked you to spot ten deliberate mistakes in a page of text. One of the mistakes was a homophone (aloud/allowed) where the words sound the same but have a different meaning. It’s so easy to type the wrong word but always look at the context the word is written in. Here are some common homophones:

• too/to/two
• there/their/they’re
• break/brake
• one/won
• see/sea
• poor/pour/paw
• bear/bare
• hire/higher
• so/sew
• wood/would
• sore/saw
• flower/flour
• made/maid
• hire/higher
• pair/pear
• sight/site

And many, many more!

Hope your weekend is as happy as this guy’s:
