Be SUPER CAREFUL with these ordinary everyday words!

Hello everyone and welcome back to English with Lucy.

Today i’m going to talk to you about a big group. A very very ordinary and everyday words that you should use with caution. This lesson is really going to help you with your speaking, reading, writing and listening, is going to help with everything because it’s such an important part of the english language.

Let’s talk about three incredibly important topics you need to know. what these words mean? homophone, homograph and hominem. They sound really complicated. But, I’m going to give you some tips to help you remember which one is which, come on originates from Greece and it means same. So, all of these words mean that something is the same. now, let’s look at the suffixes, homophone. Phone, means sounds. So, this word means that two words, sounds the same.

So, homophones are words that sound the same.They might be spelt differently and they’ll have different meanings. But, they sound the same. For example, two, two and two. They mean different things they’re all spelt differently. But, they all sound exactly the same. What about homographs? Hama same graph, graph means writing. so, they are written the same way. So, homographs have the same spelling, but, different meanings and they may or may not be pronounced the same way. It depends to entrace to hold one’s attention or entrance a doorway. these words are spelt the same way. But, they have different pronunciations. we also have bat. Bat could be some sports equipment or bat could be an animal these ones are spelt in the same way. Different meanings, but, they are also pronounced in the same way. Homographs may or may not have different pronunciation, because, the definition is about the spelling and not about the sound. But, that brings us on to homonyms. homonyms are like a combination of homophones. and homographs, they are words that sound alike and are spelt alike, just like that. So, a homograph is a type of hominem. So, an example would be kind meaning a type or kind meaning caring. so, why am i feeding you all of this information? Because, it’s super important you need to make sure that your writing is concise that you’re adding enough context for people to understand homographs, homonyms, and homophones.

When you’re writing them and also to help you understand native speakers, who won’t think twice, about using these the majority of natives won’t know what a homonym, homograph and homophone is. They might never have spared a second thought about these words that sound the same or look the same. But, for all of you it is important, because you easily become very confused and I highly recommend that you note them down and try and use them in conversation or in writing or at school over the next few weeks. just to get them really into your head. I also invite you to participate in the homework.

Yes, we have homework. here you’re not free. I would like you to add a comment, adding as many different homonyms, homographs and homophones as you can, and if you want to take it a step further. You can divide them into the different topics, you can say these ones are homonyms, these ones for homographs these ones a hum effects it will just help you and your mind and all of the other people who are reading the comments.

Now I think we should start with homonyms. because, they are the rarest. they are the most special. there aren’t so many of them in the English language. Remember I am using British English pronunciation and some of the homonyms in British English will not actually be homonyms in other dialects like American English or Australian English. Sorry, guys it does get quite complicated.

Number one, address. An address, noun could be a location or you can address someone and it’s a verb meaning to speak to someone.

Number two, band. A band, can be a musical group. It can also be a ring like a wedding band. see how careful you have to be if you’re talking about a wedding band. is it a musical group that’s playing at a wedding? or is it a wedding ring we need some context number?

Three, bark. a bark can be the noise that our dog makes and it can also be the outer layer of a tree.

Number four, current. current is an adjective meaning up-to-date. current affairs. for example, or a current is a flow of water fair. Fair come in beautiful fair, can mean light skin and light hair or fair. Come in just match. Match can mean two pair. Similar items it can be the stick for making a flame or it can be a sports game. A match. Mean, mean, can mean not nice, nasty or mean can mean average pole. A pole is someone from Poland or a tube of metal like a flagpole and spring the season. That comes before summer or a coil of metal. So, those are some homonyms and you really do need to be so careful in your speaking and writing. Don’t go saying that’s an ugly pole, if you’re talking about a metal tube. because a Polish person might be very offended. We’ve got eight, and eight. Eight the past tense of the verb to eat and eight the number. That comes after seven we’ve got bear as in not covered or naked and bare the animal. We’ve got by to purchase by the preposition and by as in goodbye we’ve got cell as in prison cell, and cell to exchange something for money. We’ve got I and I we’ve got flour the ingredient for bread. and flour the decorative colorful part of a plant. we’ve got our 60 minutes and our the possessive pronoun form of we and finally mail as in post and mail as in the opposite to female.

Finally let’s have a look at some homographs and i’m not going to include homonyms here we’ve got bath as in the fish or bass a low voice or sound we’ve got desert a region where nothing really grows. or to desert the verb meaning to leave we’ve got to lead which is to go first. Or to have followers or we have lead a type of metal we’ve got rau. Which is to argue or to fight and we’ve got row. which is to propel yourself along in a boat I remember this one confused me when I was younger, because in a book it said my parents were always what I thought was rowing together, and I thought how lovely that they row together, match Lee as I went on the meaning became clear that it was definitely rowing together, not rowing together. And the last one we’ve got to tear which is to rip or tear you. know the droplet of water, that comes from your eye.

Now I invite you to do lots of research and fill the comment section with all your homonyms, homographs and homophones. I can’t wait to see them all and definitely, use it as a resource for your learning. That’s all we’ve got time for today.
