 |  موضوع: let's play with homophones  الأربعاء 31 أكتوبر 2007, 00:36 | |
| Homophones are simply words that have the same phonetic transcription but a totally different spelling.I do know you'll fall in love with them. Just look at these few ones.
see/sea
bean/been
ate/eight
boys/buoys
full/ful
i/eye
but/butt
steal/steel
wait/weight
O(the letter that follows N/oh
Now,can you enrich my list with some other homophones you personally know of?I'll be waiting for you.Otherwise, i'll give you some.I know of many.See you next time:heart: | |
