there
, their
, and they’re
. These three words are pronounced exactly the same way but mean completely different things. Even native English speakers often misspell homophones like your
and you’re
, weather
and whether
, then
and than
, to
, too
, and two
, and the list goes on. Once you know the difference between all of these, you will notice people’s mistakes everywhere. So don’t be that person. Learn homophones once and for all by watching this lesson, and practice by doing the quiz afterwards.

You need to remove the “to” in the third question.
This has been fixed. Thanks for letting us know.

Handsome teacher thank you! Question number 3 there’s a to typed after blank and question number 8 where’s the verb at first clause?By the way I can’t stop picturing you bare……:)
Maybe I got you wrong, but there should no verb in the first clause because they’re option is not correct for this question.

Excellent exercise. Thank you very much.
“Cards” and “cars” are homophones?
Is there any difference in their pronunciations?
I really like your lessons teacher James, particularly this one. hopefully you will bring us more about homophones.
Thanks a lot.
John, your presentation is excellent. I just love it. Thanks a lot.
Sorry I spelled your name wrong. It would be James.
You should correct the third question.
Whether you correct it or not, you are great teacher, dude! Thank you! =)
i got 9 out of 10 thank you Mr James
i got 9from 10 i am angry whatever thanks james you are the best
In writing I used words “when” and “that” to define which letter to use in “th_n”
Shouldn´t be “There are….”in question number 8???
Thanks a lot James ;)
Thanks Alex
I got 10 from 10. Thank you Mr. James You’re great!
Thanks James
Question number 8 where’s the verb at first clause?For me,doesn’t make sense.
I agree with you
Excellent lesson! Thanks a lot, James. These are the five additional examples I found:
1. past – passed
2. whose – who’s
3. threw – through
4. be – bee
5. wring – ring
Hi James. this is the first video that I saw in this website and was great!! You are very clear , thanks and see you next time.
10… The way this prof teaches is merely neuroergonomic…. Thanks
Hey James
Hey James
In number 8:
I notice perhaps it should say:
there are: their.??
Nice lesson anyway. Thanks.
8. _________ ten kinds of ice cream available, but _________ favorite is chocolate.
There; their: I don’t understant why this is th right one. Where is the verb?
Why do you need a verb here? This explanation might helps you =): “there” – means gelateria, “their” – means childrens, for example.
Thanks for your help.Probably you are right but in my opinion the clause above is not clear without a verb.
There are ten kinds….
A smile:)
Only 9 correct . I got no.8 wrong.? it seems that I need to improve more
It`s not you who needs to improve: answers to question 8 have a misprint.
I got 9 point.. thanku James:)
other examples:
* see /sea
* sail /sale
* past / passed
*were / we’re / where
* nose /know
* new /knew
Thank you :)
Thank you, teacher…!!!
We really appreciate your Job Mr. E… (sorry, I mean, Mr. James) .
:) They’re good both.
But Mr. James is much more talkative than Mr.E.
Thank you for your lesson. I’ve learnt much more.
Thanks a lot, James. I got 9 from 10.
What is more, my vocabulary has been increased for eight new words.
in question no 8, i think “are” should be behind “there”. There are ten kinds of ice-cream available. Isn’t it???
Thans James, you’re very friendly.
I think there is a mistake in exercise 8
would be :
8. There are ten kinds of ice cream available, but their favorite is chocolate.
Hello, James. Thank you a lot for your lesson! Here are some more examples of homophones that I could recall:
Won’t – want

Hi there. I thought in 6 question that brake work means make an stop in the time.
Other example

Great!I learned a lot in this lesson.Thanks
I think this one is too easy and too long…
I think there’s an “are” missing in question N.8!
good lecon, thank you
got 70 but nice one !
Please kindly correct the first answer to question 8: there should be THERE`RE, not just THERE; otherwise, there is no correct answer, which can be really confusing. Thank you
Thank you very much for letting us know! It’s been fixed.
Is it not missing the verb “are” after “There” in the 8º question?
You’re right, and it has been fixed!
Dear James I saw your class again and let me tell you that now I understand clearly anyway….. greetings from surco
