A Intermediate level lesson for you today.
Spending a lot of time on English language sites is a great way to practice your English. Leaving comments (as you can on this site) is an even better way to practise.
When writing English you should be careful of tricky homonyms. A homonym is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different spelling and different meaning.
For example: flower and flour.
Can you write a homonym for each each word below?
To show you really understand the differences between the words, write some example sentences.
- 1 - peace:
- 2 - way:
- 3 - scene:
- 4 - through:
- 5 - where:
- 6 - week:
- 7 - new:
- 8 - here:
- 9 - hole:
- 10 - waist:

Useful Lesson
Very useful and nice Lesson! I liked it.
But my result is 6/10( not very good). 
I'm not good at pronunciation - mix short and long sounds.
My example: Brush your HAIR, not be like a HARE.( is it correct?)
Thank you for the Lesson!
thanks for lesson
