A video lesson about homophones in English: words that have the same pronunciation but a different meaning. This is an important aspect of English grammar.

For example:

their - there - they’re

The pronunciation of all 3 words is exactly the same (= /ðeə^r/). However, the meaning and function within a sentence is different.

their: This is their car, not mine. (= possessive adjective) there: The party is at Laura’s house. How do we get there? (= adverb) they’re: Are Sam & Anna here? Not yet, they’re coming later. (pronoun + verb ‘are’)

The video explains what a homophone is and will show you several examples of common homophones in English.
