Commonly Confused Words Which witch is which? Commonly Confused Words S2 Literacy

Learning Intentions I can identify commonly confused words. I can use commonly confused words in the correct context.

Confusing Words Can you think of any words that sound the same but mean different things? Words that sound the same but have different meanings are called homophones. The English language is full of them!

Here’s a few examples… Be and Bee Sun and Son Flower and Flour

Look at this tongue twister! If two witches were watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch? asking for information Witch Which

There, their and they’re https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tK6bu37N5Q Having watched this catchy video, write three sentences that use there, their and they’re in the correct context.

Where, wear and were Where – this is used to locate something. Example: That is where I saw him. Wear -this is used to describe something on someone’s body. She liked to wear jumpers. Were – this is used to explain something that has happened. Example: There were twelve people at his show.

Where, wear and were TEST YOURSELF! 1. How many ____________ there? Write the following sentences in your jotter, and fill in the gaps. 1. How many ____________ there? 2. __________ is this magical city? 3. There ________ three pears left this morning. 4. ___________ you having fun at the cinema? 5. Put the ball back ________ it belongs. 6. India is __________ we are going on holiday.

To, too and two TO – this shows where you are going or suggests something belonging. Example: We are going to France. TOO – this mean ‘as well as’ or ‘a large amount’. Example: Cammy is coming too. TWO – the written form of 2! Example: There are two of us going on holiday.

Of and Off OFF – means to remove from something. Example: Get off the couch with your muddy shoes. OF – means ‘coming from’ or to define a specific thing. Example: He is of the Macintyre clan. Of those pears, that one looks the tastiest. Effectively, unless you mean ‘get off’ something, don’t use F twice!
