Jack
Welcome to the Edison English podcast. My name is Jack, and today I have a solo episode for you and we are in the grammar zone.
00:00:13
Jack
And we are.
00:00:13
Jack
Going to continue our lessons on homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same, but they are spelled differently.
00:00:25
Jack
And today’s homophone.
00:00:29
Jack
Our home phones are here and here.
00:00:34
Jack
And the spelling for the first one is here HERE.
00:00:39
Jack
And this one indicates a place or a location. So for example, come here and sit down.
00:00:50
Jack
UM, sometimes when we are meeting someone at A at a destination.
00:00:58
Jack
We will send a text message and say I’m here.
00:01:02
Jack
I’m here, meaning I’m here at the place where we are going to meet.
00:01:09
Jack
And so that would always be HERE, here, here.
00:01:17
Jack
Now there is.
00:01:20
Jack
Another word.
00:01:22
Jack
QRHEAR.
00:01:25
Jack
Which sounds exactly like HERE. The pronunciations are exactly the same.
00:01:32
Jack
OK here here.
00:01:34
Jack
But HEAR.
00:01:38
Jack
Refers to the act of perceiving sound, so.
00:01:44
Jack
Hearing sound right and you can see you. It’s in the word hearing, right?
00:01:51
Jack
The the ability or the act of sound going into your ear.
00:02:06
Jack
Sound waves going into your ear.
00:02:09
Jack
Or into your ears and creating sound for you. That is the act of hearing.
00:02:17
Jack
The act of hearing. And so you could ask someone this question, can you hear the music, you might say to someone listen.
00:02:28
Jack
Can you hear the music? And maybe there’s there is some softly playing music.
00:02:35
Jack
In the distance.
00:02:38
Jack
OK. Or the music is too loud?
00:02:43
Jack
I can’t hear you.
00:02:46
Jack
OK. Or speak more loudly please, because I can’t hear you. That’s HEAR.
00:02:57
Jack
So there there are two homophones here and here.
00:03:02
Jack
And I’m going.
00:03:03
Jack
To do 2 more uh. To make this episode a little bit longer, this would be a really short episode. If we only do here.
00:03:11
Jack
So let’s.
00:03:11
Jack
Do where and where.
00:03:14
Jack
OK, so where and where?
00:03:16
Jack
Where WHERE? Asks about a place or a location for example. Where did you go?
00:03:26
Jack
Ohh, I went to America.
00:03:30
Jack
Where the place? What place did you go? OK. Location or place? Where are you?
00:03:38
Jack
You could send again like that text message.
00:03:41
Jack
Where are you? I’m here. I’m at the place where we are meeting. I’m here.
00:03:48
Jack
I’m next to.
00:03:49
Jack
The subway. Ohh OK.
00:03:54
Jack
The second one where WEAR.
00:03:58
Jack
Refers to putting on clothes or accessories. Accessories would be like you wear a necklace or you can wear earrings, or you can wear rings.
00:04:09
Jack
Clothes would be you’re wearing shirts and pants and socks and underwear and a hat.
00:04:15
Jack
OK.
00:04:17
Jack
Wearing clothes.
00:04:19
Jack
Or wearing accessories.
00:04:22
Jack
For example.
00:04:24
Jack
I like to wear hats.
00:04:27
Jack
And this is something that I really love. I love to wear hats. I have a lot of baseball caps.
00:04:35
Jack
I always wear a baseball cap.
00:04:39
Jack
So I love to wear hats. I love to wear hats, so wear wear here and here.
00:04:49
Jack
