[no-knowledge]

o' dear.

[Mamyalynne]

have i gone wrong nok, how embarassing!!

[sqad617]

There and their are spelt differently.

[Mamyalynne]

of course

[Mamyalynne]

was a late night LOL

[no-knowledge]

the o'dear was for the question mamyalynne
does it make sense to you?

[sarumite]

Nothing wrong with YOUR answer mamya ... homonyms do not have to be spelt the same, they should have the same sound but only possibly the same spelling, with a different meaning and origin.

[emeritus]

It must be They`re, There and Their so the question should be Homophones not Homonyms.

Black mark for the Teacher

1 a: homophone b: homograph c: one of two or more words spelled and pronounced alike but different in meaning (as the noun quail and the verb quail)

[Mamyalynne]

Phew no it doesnt make a great deal of sense though my girls homework didnt always as i recall

[sara3]

sqad, they can sound alike.. but I've seen different definitions.

[no-knowledge]

3 words?

did ......you...........see the ..........ewe......... p*ss on the ...yew.... tree?



?

[no-knowledge]

they're
their
there

[sqad617]

Homophones not Homonyms. .....they are synonymous.

[Thakey]

When I'm 8 I'll try to help! ( but I can't see teacher wanting anying else but THEIR THERE or even THEY'RE to be used)

(try to be clever and put - They're putting their lairs there.)

Gotta go now, Dad wants me to finish fixing the tele!

[Tallulah!]

Shouldn't the 8year old be doing its own homework?

[columbus]

8 year olds shouldn't be doing homework, they should be up't chimney's or workin in't mills, or such like. Seriously thopugh is they're a word or a contraction of two words! If so it don't really matter about homophones or homonyms. By the way if I had used They're whilst at school I'd have had my knuckles severley rapped for laziness.
