  • Hey, everyone. I'm alex thanks for clicking and welcome to this intermediate lesson on Homa phones

  • so this is a level two of my homophone series and

  • If you watched my beginner video and you feel comfortable now with the idea of Homa phones

  • And you've mastered your and your and they're they're there and it's an it's

  • fantastic and now

  • We're going to level up and go to the intermediate stage

  • so as a reminder homa phones are words that sound the same but

  • Are spelled differently and they have a different meaning?

  • So today we are going to look at 10 more homophone x' or series of words

  • That have different spellings, but have the same pronunciation and different meanings

  • Number one, this is a three-fer which means like three of them here, so we have

  • Isle isle isle now. I should put a star Beside I

  • apostrophe Ll

  • Some people do not pronounce it as isle some people pronounce it as oh

  • Okay, like I'll call you later

  • But a lot of people also pronounce it as isle, which is I?

  • Will okay and then this is isle, and isle is a walkway

  • Now it is

  • specifically a walkway that is between a section or two sections of

  • Shelves or

  • Chairs when you go to the movie heater you walk up the aisle

  • okay, it's a Walkway a space between

  • You know when you have things on both sides when you go to the grocery store

  • You walk in different aisles. Where's the salt? It's an aisle three. Where's the cereal?

  • it's in aisle five for example and

  • Aisle this is just the short form for Island okay, so example

  • I'll meet you in aisle three if you're talking or texting with your

  • Significant other your wife your husband your boyfriend

  • Where are you? I'm buying milk. What are you doing? I'm buying this okay? I'll meet you in aisle three

  • That's where the I don't know what's something that people like to eat

  • That's where the chocolate is people like chocolate right, okay?

  • And another example the isle of man is in the Irish sea

  • So the isle of man is a place which has an awesome flag and it's located in the Irish sea

  • It's the flag with like three legs and a circle. It's pretty cool

  • so next allowed and allowed so

  • Allowed a ll o w e d just means you are permitted to do something

  • You are allowed you have permission to do something

  • Allowed this one might be new for some of you this means to say something

  • Vocally now instead of just keeping it inside ok vocally or with a loud voice

  • So for example in this class if you're sitting in university for example

  • Your professor might say you are allowed to speak your thoughts aloud ok don't keep them inside

  • vocalize them say them use them ok and

  • number 3 choose

  • choose

  • the first one you're probably familiar with it's just a verb which means to select and

  • Choose this is the third-person version of qu which you do when you eat food

  • Or gum, right, so this is

  • chewing

  • So I

  • Ridiculous example for all of you she chews gum when trying to choose her clothes

  • It's a weird habit much like ok time to choose my clothes

  • I'm going to choose some gum and choose my clothes

  • number 4

  • forward and

  • Forward so I think most of you probably know forward the direction

  • Which means like in front of you go straight go?

  • forward

  • or if you've seen the movie

  • Rocky Balboa

  • There's an excellent speech between Rocky and his son where he says you have to keep moving forward that's how winning is done

  • right all right and forward is a

  • short introduction or a short intro in a published book

  • this is also known as a preface or in introduction and

  • It's usually written by someone other than the author

  • So you'll see a lot of forwards written for classic books books that are like

  • 100 years old and a modern contemporary

  • Contemporary writer or figure will write about the significance of the book before the actual book

  • right so hey

  • Who wrote the foreword in that Edition of Frankenstein if your friend is reading a specific edition of the book?

  • Frankenstein by Mary Shelley a classic

  • You know he might wonder I really enjoyed the foreword reading the introduction to that book. He gave a lot of

  • contextual details about the historical importance of the novel

  • Who wrote the foreword to in that edition all right? So well what have we done here? We had done one two three four

  • Guys what number comes after four?

  • It's five you know it's five

  • number five

  • Grown and

  • grown so grown the adjective which means mature like you are a grown adult a

  • grown man a grown woman, okay, or

  • Grown now this one is probably less familiar to some of you. This can be a verb or a noun

  • So you can grown or you can hear a grown now. This is my own definition of grown

  • It's a sound of disappointment. It's a sound you make when you go

  • Like when you hear a really bad joke or if you you know are you see something?

  • That's a little sad or ridiculous or you're sick and you go?

  • you're groaning okay, so

  • Don't groan. You're a grown adult

  • So don't groan can also mean like don't like be a baby and complain

  • My life is terrible

  • You're a grown adult okay

  • next

  • heel heel heel

  • similar to the first example

  • this one a chi apostrophe

  • Ll some people pronounce this as hill similar to you know a small mountain

  • But a lot of people also pronounce it as heel

  • so he will he'll call you or he'll call you if you

  • Talk to a certain person from a certain part of the world

  • Are not necessarily even a certain part of the world is just personal preference

  • I think so, then you have heel h e al so a doctor will heal

  • you know whatever injuries you have so to make well or to make better and

  • This refers to an injury if you're hurt

  • You can get healed or if you play role-playing games like oh final Fantasy 7

  • This is red 13 you have heal potions right or healing magic

  • So you can heal your characters make them better make them well

  • + Hp basically and h ee L

  • He'll this is the back and bottom part of a person's foot

  • So this part here the very back of your foot the bottom part back is your heel

  • Very famous, you know cultural

  • touchstone for this word is

  • the Achilles Heel

  • So if you have an achilles heel it means you have a weakness and this comes from a greek myth. Where?

  • Achilles is heel. You know cause some misfortune, so please

  • Yeah, remember achilles heel

  • morning, and

  • Morning. I know you know morning. It's the first part of the day

  • It's probably one of the first 20 words you learn when you're studying English

  • And you're an intermediate student so we don't need to review it

  • but morning mo you are and ing now this refers to a period of

  • grief

  • Sorrow or

  • sadness

  • usually

  • You are in

  • Mourning so you see the phrase here in

  • Mourning after the death of a loved one or maybe a pet that you had for a very long time

  • So you can use the verb to mourn Em oh you are N

  • And you can mourn the loss of a loved one

  • Mourn the loss of a pet or someone that you care about a friend or family member, and you can also be in

  • Mourning for something okay, so we have five six

  • Seven and what comes after seven?

  • Boom eight you got it eight poll poll

  • so poll can be a noun which can be like a long cylindrical thing like you think of a

  • telephone Pole or A

  • fishing pole, I think of like a long stick basically so a

  • pole can also be a noun or a verb

  • tol, L and basically this is a sample of opinions about a topic or

  • Pull the verb can mean you know to conduct a survey that collects a sample of opinions about a topic

  • usually around elections

  • You hear a lot in the news about?

  • opinions polls

  • Where people give their opinions about the candidates who are running for office?

  • Okay, so for example

  • This is a different example than talking about elections and politics

  • We need to poll people about the new telephone on Pole

  • So if your local government has placed a telephone pole

  • And maybe a weird location that is blocking people, or that is dangerous

  • You might need to pull the neighborhood saying do you support the location of this telephone pole?

  • And maybe they do, maybe they don't but you can pull people

  • about the pole

  • It's hard thinking of examples guys help me right. Thank you for your patience number nine wrapped and

  • Wrapped so wrapped can be a noun or verb for the style of music

  • Performed by people like Eminem or snoop Dogg or kid cudi. I think is like a more recent one and

  • Rap can be a noun or a verb

  • if I have you know a cut on my arm, I can use a bandage to

  • wrap

  • Around my arm a wrap it can also be a delicious

  • Little sandwich that you buy at McDonald's or any other fast-food restaurant or not even fast food restaurants?

  • But you can eat a rat a chicken wrap a beef wrap Etc. So I like to rap while I rap

  • So if you're wrapping your arm, and you like to talk about what you're doing you can rap like rap

  • I'm not going to rap so I don't know how to rap comparable edit number 10 roll and roll

  • ro Ll can be a noun or a verb

  • Over so you can like roll a tire from your car right you can push it and it rolls

  • okay, and

  • it can also be
