Hello guys, how are you doing?

For today's class we are going to study the homophones. Do you know what are they? 

Recall that homophones are words that sound the same, but have different meanings. For example, a bear is a large, hairy animal. Your feet can be bare if you have no shoes on them. A dog or other creature can bare its teeth to show you it is ready to fight. Sometimes homophones can be easy to mix up, so it’s important to check and make sure your words make sense when you edit your writing.

 Example:

How many members of a convent does it take to change a light bulb?

Nun.
