The same, but so different. Episode 2
Hello, folks! How are you today? Did anything interesting happen to you?
Today I want to tell you some more about homophones. Do you remember what they are? We talked about this last time.
Homophones are words that sound the same, but are actually different words with different meanings and different spelling.
Wait a second… Wait! How do we spell “wait”?
That's right. W-A-I-T. Is it a noun or a verb? Good job! It's a verb. To wait.
Do you like to wait for the bus? I don't.
How else can we spell “weight”? Good. W-E-I-G-H-T. What is it? Is it a verb? No, it's a noun. Weight is the mass of an object.
