This is called sound alike words!

soulsings July 9th, 2019

So the purpose of sound alikes is to show how sound alike words can be so different even though they sound the same.

There are three ways you can play this game:

#1) Use the words the opposite of how they are meant to be used

EXAMPLE: I here you. I think hear is the best place to live! cheeky

#2) Use the words the same as they are meant to be used

EXAMPLE: I see the waves rolling in to the quiet sea.

#3) Ask a question and give the answer

EXAMPLE:

What do you call an illegally parked frog?

Toad (towed)

See how many different ones you can come up with. There are lots in English.

I think it is more fun to use them in sentences if you can think of them. Let's play !

I should warn everyone that their tires may be too worn to last the winter.

The pigs I bred last year ate all the bread I baked today.

I am fond of many animals, especially a fawn.

It did not dawn on me that I would have to don a heavy coat to stay warm outside.

I had to walk to the store to buy a new wok.

You have the genes to wear jeans.

I hope I have the time to get to the store to buy some thyme.

I have heard that putting lime on a tic wound can prevent Lyme Disease but I do not believe that.

[do not try that - not a medical advice - just a play on words.]

My horse was hoarse so he couldn't say "neigh".
