Our, Hour & Are:
It is common to hear the possessive pronoun our incorrectly pronounced like the verb are or the letter r. The correct pronunciation is the same as hour.
Our and hour are what are called homophones, words that are pronounced identically but have different spellings and meanings. However, our and are are not homophones. They not only have different spellings and meanings but different pronunciations as well. Remember never to confuse the pronunciation of our with are.
As a reminder, think of our as being the same as hour, but without the h.
Kadalasan kung hindi man palagi, kapag nakakabasa tayo ng kwentong ng mga baguhang manunulat na hindi bihasa sa salitang english o di naman kaya ay hindi hasa sa english grammar ay nalilito sa mga salitang our, hour, and are. Ibinabatay na lang kasi sa pandinig at hindi sa spelling o tamang gamit ng salita.
In other words, it is common to hear the possessive pronoun our incorrectly pronounced like the verb are or the letter r, but the correct pronunciation of our is the same as hour without the H.
Ex:
These are not only yours or mine, but it is also ours.
This is our love, we are talking about!
Our guests are staying till the wee hour.
Siguro naman ay hindi na tayo malilito sa mga salitang ito. Okay ba?
