Today we're going to look at homophones.

These are words which have the same

pronunciation (sound) but different meanings and spelling.
Hoy vamos a estudiar unas palabras homfonas, es decir, palabras que se pronuncian igual
pero que tienen significados distintos y se escriben de forma distinta.
Let's start with some very basic ones: I and eye.
I is the first person singular subject pronoun.
For example,
I live in Barcelona.
(Yo) vivo en Barcelona.
We use our eyes to see.
For example,
I like your eye colour.
Me gusta el color de tus ojos.
Let's take a look at some more words and try to remember them to avoid confusion.
ate is the past simple form of the verb to eat.
Here is an example with ate:
We ate pizza for dinner last night.
Anoche cenamos pizza.
ate is pronounced in the same way as eight (8).
Here's an example with the word eight:
I have eight cousins.
Tengo ocho primos.
it's is the contraction of it is and it has.
It's (=It is) sunny today.
Hace sol hoy.
It's (=It has) been sunny all week.
Ha hecho sol toda la semana.
its is a possessive pronoun.

The dog ate its food.

El perro comi su comida.
to hear is a verb which means to perceive sound by the ear while here is an adverb of
place meaning in or towards this place.
Look at an example of each word:
I cannot hear you. Please speak louder.
No te oigo. Habla ms fuerte, por favor.
Come here please!
Ven aqu, por favor!
