Learn English: 17 HOMOPHONES & Past Participles

Homophones are words that have the same pronunciation but are written differently. To understand the meaning of the word, you need to rely on context or spelling. In today’s lesson, I will teach you eight sets of homophones. You will notice that each set is made up of one past participle and one word or more with a different function. A past participle is a word used with a past verb to express something that is passive. For example, in “it was sent”, the word “sent” is a past participle, and “was” is the verb. I will teach you the difference between “won” and “one”, “heard” and “herd”, “taught” and “tot”, “bred” and “bread”, “sent”, “scent”, and “cent”, “been” and “bean”, “caught” and “cot”, and “grown” and “groan”. I will explain their meaning, and I’ll give examples. Don’t forget to do the quiz after watching to make sure you understood the material. Next, learn 16 HOMOPHONES & PAST SIMPLE VERBS: TRANSCRIP
