Homophones are words that are pronounced the same way, but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Here are some common ones,
where: a place or location ex: Where is the remote? This is where I live.
wear: to wear something (article of clothing or other) ex: I'm going to wear this jacket.
to: a motion ex: I'm going to the store.
too: also ex: I want to come, too. She's going too fast.
two: an amount, number ex: I have two apples.
there: a place, location ex: The shop is over there.
their: possession ex: That's their toy.
they're: a contraction of "they are" ex: They're playing outside.
blue: the color ex: The bird's wings are blue.
blew: an action of air ex: He blew out the candle
week: a span of seven days ex: I started school last week.
weak: a lack of strength ex: It was a very weak structure.
whole: complete ex: He spent the whole day working.
hole: a hollow place ex: The mouse has chewed a hole in the wall.
dear: a nickname ex: My dear sister. Dear Abigail, ...
deer: an animal ex: He almost hit the deer on the road
road: a pathway, street ex: She drove on the road.
rode: past tense of "ride" ex: I rode on my bike yesterday.
rhode: a name ex: I went to Rhode Island last week with Jason Rhodes.
write: mark, compose ex: I write every day.
right: a direction ex: I turned right on Green Street.
These aren't nearly all of them, but they're some of the most common ones I believe.
Different spellings of the same word is something that can be confusing and tricky sometimes. Here are some of them,
effect: a result or consequence. The effect of drugging him is that he fell asleep.
affect: to have an affect. He affected him by injecting him with a drug.
blonde: female
blond: male
brunet: male
brunette: female
fiance: male
fiancee: female
Basically, if there's an extra "e" or anything else, that's the feminine form and the other is the masculine.
"Gray" and "grey" are the same things. "Gray" is the American spelling while "grey" is the British spelling. The same thing with words like "color" and "flavor". The British spelling just adds a "u" like this: "colour" "flavour". They're both more or less correct depending on where you are/come from and who you're talking to. This blends in with regional/cultural wording that we can discuss in a future part.
I'm thinking as a schedule it could be two or three days a week? What does everyone think about Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday?
