We will focus mainly on homophones.Homophones are words that are spelled different and have different meanings, but they sound the same.Examples: ate/eight; by/buy/bye; to/too/two; your/you're; their/there/they'reHomographs are words that sound the same, have the same spelling, but sound different:Example: wound/wound.

A verb is usually the first word in the predicate:The dog ran down the street and jumped on the curb.Irregular verbs do not show action but are still the predicate. We also call them "Linking Verbs" because they link the subject and predicate together:Examples: are, is, was, has, have, do, does, want, were, being, been, am, willWe are here. She will wait for me.Synonyms: Synonyms are words that are similar in meaning:
