Ever get tripped up by English? Check out this sentence: "I wanted to go to the park, too, but two hours ago, it started raining." 🤯 To, too, and two are homophones: words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Classic examples are your/you're and there/their/they're. Here's a fun "aha" moment: Homophones have cousins called homographs—words that are spelled the same but have different meanings! Think of the verb to lead (leed) a team vs. a pencil made of lead (led). So, words can be twins by sound (homophones) or by spelling (homographs)! Context is everything. What homophones always get you? Drop them in the comments! šŸ‘‡
