one
and won
? Whole
and hole
? Threw
and through
? These word pairs are pronounced exactly the same, but have different spellings and meanings. These sets of words are called homonyms
, and I’m going to teach you 10 pairs of these words so that you can learn to spell them correctly. It’s also a great chance to learn new vocabulary through these example sentences. So, what is a homonym? Check out this lesson to find out. Take the quiz to make sure you know the correct spelling of these common words.

Thank you very much for your lesson, Gill. It’s very useful and interesting. I guessed most words before you read the sentences. I like your lessons, because you speak British English. I am learning British English, too, so it’s easy to understand everything you say. Besides, I got 9 out of 9. EngVid really helps me to improve my English.
The 5th one is absolutely adorable. ))

Thank you for the quiz
Excuse me Gill, in the last example, WHICH with people? Wouldn’t be better “who won”, being an indirect question?
Hi mescal — thanks for checking. I think you’re referring to “Which one won?” — meaning, which one of the two men won the race? In this kind of construction, it’s not correct to use “who”. You can say “Who won?” as a simple, two-word question, but with the three-word question it has to be “Which one won?” Similarly, you can say: “Which person won?” or “Which athlete won?” I hope this helps :-)
Great explain.
Or wouldn’t have been better….
Thank you Gill.Now everything is easier due to your excellent teaching style.I am eager to get the next lesson from you soon.Take care.

Very interesting and valuable lesson. I was wondering I never found the similitude of the same sound word with different spelling as they are found in my mother language. Of course, I’m not an English spoken person.
I’m in that process. Thank you so much por the class.

As is usual, you were great!! Tks
“Aced it”! 9/9; but I should, I’m a native speaker.
To my knowledge, homonym is a word that is spelled the same and sounds the same as another, but is different in meaning or origin. I was also taught in this way when I studies in UK. Now I am confused.
i got perfect score
You got 9 correct out of 9.
Got 10/10. Love your lessons,Gil.I watch them all,
I don’t complete all the quizzes, though.
I watch your lessons twice, thrice or more times,
just because of your accent. Eyes closed to develop
my listening skill. I do the same with Benjamin’s
lessons. Beautiful accent you both have.
Thank you,dear Gill.
Thank you so much Gill, it’s always a pleasure to attend your class.

Thanks
excellent class I love your classes.
Thanks
Thank you Gill, great lesson.
Sorry, but I think that the choice of the homonyms in this lesson is not relevant to the 3-advanced level. Everyone who is able to read the sentences your wrote is also able to differentiate between ‘one’ and ‘won’, ‘through’ and ‘threw’, etc. This workout routine is too easy: wast of time.
‘fix typo’ = *wast > waste
Awesoome lessons.thank you
It’s really interesting this kind of words because is very important the context of each sentence to understand what it means every word (in a conversation). Thank you teacher Gill!
Excellent lessons, thanks a lot ?
I got full mark! ? :D

Happy New Year!
