Homonyms & Homophones to Build Vocabulary

[@InteractiveEng]

Let's help each other build our vocabulary. Write a pair of homonyms (or homophones) in the comments. And LIKE each others' comments if you learned something new. 👍

You are wonderful, great teacher I'm from el Salvador living in California and you have helped me improve my English expressions and slang thank you plus you guys have a good vibes!

[@InteractiveEng]

Hi Monica. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. Hope all is well in California. 😊

[@Aerosmith77]

I should have known all but a few homonyms didn't emerge from my memory. It reminds me the years when I could speak and write and understand English better. It was a cool lesson, nobody could have done better.

[@InteractiveEng]

Thanks Judit. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 👍

[@tikalcattery]

Great lesson Wes!!! So, just to check out if I got that right: - Both homonyms and homophnes have the same pronunciation and different meaning. - Homonyms have the same spelling and homophones have different spelling.

[@InteractiveEng]

Thanks for checking out the lesson. Yes, that riddle is pretty difficult. Most people I've asked haven't been able to get it. 😉👍

[@mrs.reluctant4095]

Hi Wes, taxed and text maybe or is there a slight difference? Anyway this was great fun, thank you very much! 👍😊

[@InteractiveEng]

Thanks for commenting. The pronunciation is similar but a little different. The word "taxed" has the short A sound whereas "text" has the short E sound. 👍

[@Joe-ip2ky]

Hi Wes ! Thanks for this interesting lesson. I’ve learned some new vocabulary. To be honest I didn’t do well with questions but at the same time it allowed me to learn so new vocabulary like idle, bat, not the baseball but this one 🦇, the well for water and also the difference between homophones and homonyms I thought it was the same. It’s been very useful. Simple question: in order to become fluent and to improve my speaking and listening comprehension with natives, can you tell me which skill is better to improve first, collocations or phrasal verbs. I tend to think collocations are more important at first to catch natives conversation, they use it all the time even if phrasal verbs is vocabulary we use all the time either. Have a good one !

Hey wes! how is every thing & how is your family? I have a question about the word sneaky I heard that we mostly use it with kids not adults is that true?

[@InteractiveEng]

Hi Mustafa. We're doing well. I think "sneaky" could be used with either children or adults. Perhaps mostly it used when talking about children, but it could be used with either. 👍

You got me with this riddle, it was a good one though.

[@VickiBee]

Gustav couldn't but Stefan, his brother-in-law, did. He knows advanced English for a reason: he's a police officer in Germany and finds he needs to know advanced English. People like to pretend they don't know how to communicate when they're being questioned in connection to any kind of crime.
