Answer 2

I have found this question online. We are supposed to choose between words that sound the same, such as "to" and "too", or "your" and "you're".

Answer:

Aziz went to the beach. Marc went, too.

They're the best friends I have.

The dog found its bone.

I think this is your coat.

Explanation:

Homophones are words that are spelled differently but sound the same. For example, the words "wait" and "weight" have the exact same pronunciation, but their spelling and meaning are completely different. In conversations, what will reveal which of the two we are using is the context.

The sentences above were completed with the homophone that made sense in the context. It is important to talk about the words used in sentences 2 and 4, since they are the ones people seem to find the most confusing.

• "your" is a possessive adjective. It accompanies a noun and indicates to whom that noun belongs. For example: That is your car. The same goes for "their". Example: Their cat is so cute!
• "you're" is a contraction of the pronoun "you" and the verb "are". Thus, it literally is the same as "you are" and must be used as subject and verb of a clause. Example: You're a wizard. The same goes for "they're", which is the contraction of "they" and "are". Example: They're coming for us.
