Homophones with h and without h

surely you know that the words "hello" and "ola" they do not mean the same thing and cannot be used in the same situations. Although the sound of both words is the same, the letter "h", which has no sound in the word, makes them have a completely different meaning. These are homophones that are differentiated by the use of the "h".

In this lesson from a PROFESSOR we want to explain in more detail what are homophone words with "h" and without "h" and we are going to give you some examples so that you can see this concept put into practice.

The Homophones words are those that they are pronounced exactly the same but they have different meanings and are written differently. These words can become a real puzzle, since they only differ from each other in their spelling, because they have a letter "h" at the beginning of one of the two words of the pair.

Once you are clear about what each of the homophones means, it will be much easier for you to distinguish them and write them correctly. You may have to resort to the dictionary. To know how to spell a homonymous word, you'll need to understand the context of the sentences in which they are written.

For example: talking and speaking

We are going to explain some examples of homonymous words, so you can see that the pronunciation is the same, but depending on whether it has "h" at the beginning of the word, it can have a very different meaning.

Harte - Art

hart and art They are two words that are only distinguished by the initial "h", but that mean different concepts:

• harte It is the conjugated verb to fill up and means to satisfy or satisfy the appetite. It can also mean to annoy or annoy someone excessively. For example: Tell her to eat until she's full, because there's plenty of chicken.
• Art, on the other hand, is a noun that refers to the ability to do something, in addition to the set of disciplines carried out for expressive purposes. For example: Your daughter has a special art for painting.

hour - hour

hour and hour are two homonymous words:

• Hour refers to a measure of time that is equal to 60 minutes. For example: It's time for the yard.
• pray It refers to the conjugated verb pray and refers to the act of turning to God to ask for something or speaking in public to persuade an audience. For example: Silvia prays for food before eating.

let's get you some homophone word pairswith "h" and without "h", so that you try to understand the meaning of each one of them and you can see the theory that we have explained to you in the previous exercise, put into practice:

• Killer whale is the marine animal and Gallow it is a structure in which those sentenced to death are hung by the neck.
• Disposal is waste or garbage and Undone is the participle of the verb to undo.
• Pole It can be the horn of an animal or the stick on which a flag is placed and until is the preposition.
• Shortcut It is a path that allows us to shorten the path and bunch it is a small herd of cattle.
• Err is not hitting something and shoe is to put horseshoes on a cavalry.
• peek is to look quickly and superficially, and leaf through is to quickly turn the pages of a publication.
• Vibe is the curve that forms on a flexible surface and sling means deep.

We are going to propose a series of sentences that contain homophone words. Choose the one that is most suitable in each case, depending on the context:

• That's it check/done food.
• The door is not would/would open
• The hen had a hala/hala broken.
• we won't see each other until on Friday.
• When as/has arrived from Lima?
• came one Hi wave and she got us all wet.
• You should not err/err that answer
• is not yet the hour/hour.

we leave you with the solutions to the previous exercise. We have eliminated the homophone word that did not correspond in each sentence and we have left only the one that has the correct meaning:

• That's it done food.
• The door is not opened.
• The hen had a to the broken.
• we won't see each other until on Friday.
• When have you arrived from Lima?
• came one wave and she got us all wet.
• You should not err that answer
• is not yet the hour.
