so this is a level two of my homophone series and

If you watched my beginner video and you feel comfortable now with the idea of Homa phones

And you've mastered your and your and they're they're there and it's an it's

fantastic and now

We're going to level up and go to the intermediate stage

so as a reminder homa phones are words that sound the same but

Are spelled differently and they have a different meaning?

So today we are going to look at 10 more homophone x' or series of words

That have different spellings, but have the same pronunciation and different meanings

Number one, this is a three-fer which means like three of them here, so we have

Isle isle isle now. I should put a star Beside I

apostrophe Ll

Some people do not pronounce it as isle some people pronounce it as oh

Okay, like I'll call you later

But a lot of people also pronounce it as isle, which is I?

Will okay and then this is isle, and isle is a walkway

Now it is

specifically a walkway that is between a section or two sections of

Shelves or

Chairs when you go to the movie heater you walk up the aisle

okay, it's a Walkway a space between

You know when you have things on both sides when you go to the grocery store

You walk in different aisles. Where's the salt? It's an aisle three. Where's the cereal?

it's in aisle five for example and

Aisle this is just the short form for Island okay, so example

I'll meet you in aisle three if you're talking or texting with your

Significant other your wife your husband your boyfriend

Where are you? I'm buying milk. What are you doing? I'm buying this okay? I'll meet you in aisle three

That's where the I don't know what's something that people like to eat

That's where the chocolate is people like chocolate right, okay?

And another example the isle of man is in the Irish sea

So the isle of man is a place which has an awesome flag and it's located in the Irish sea

It's the flag with like three legs and a circle. It's pretty cool

so next allowed and allowed so

Allowed a ll o w e d just means you are permitted to do something

You are allowed you have permission to do something

Allowed this one might be new for some of you this means to say something

Vocally now instead of just keeping it inside ok vocally or with a loud voice

So for example in this class if you're sitting in university for example

Your professor might say you are allowed to speak your thoughts aloud ok don't keep them inside

vocalize them say them use them ok and

number 3 choose

choose

the first one you're probably familiar with it's just a verb which means to select and

Choose this is the third-person version of qu which you do when you eat food

Or gum, right, so this is

chewing

So I

Ridiculous example for all of you she chews gum when trying to choose her clothes

It's a weird habit much like ok time to choose my clothes

I'm going to choose some gum and choose my clothes

number 4

forward and

Forward so I think most of you probably know forward the direction

Which means like in front of you go straight go?

forward

or if you've seen the movie

Rocky Balboa

There's an excellent speech between Rocky and his son where he says you have to keep moving forward that's how winning is done

right all right and forward is a

short introduction or a short intro in a published book

this is also known as a preface or in introduction and

It's usually written by someone other than the author

So you'll see a lot of forwards written for classic books books that are like

100 years old and a modern contemporary

Contemporary writer or figure will write about the significance of the book before the actual book

right so hey

Who wrote the foreword in that Edition of Frankenstein if your friend is reading a specific edition of the book?

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley a classic

You know he might wonder I really enjoyed the foreword reading the introduction to that book. He gave a lot of

contextual details about the historical importance of the novel

Who wrote the foreword to in that edition all right? So well what have we done here? We had done one two three four

Guys what number comes after four?

It's five you know it's five

number five

Grown and

grown so grown the adjective which means mature like you are a grown adult a

grown man a grown woman, okay, or

Grown now this one is probably less familiar to some of you. This can be a verb or a noun

So you can grown or you can hear a grown now. This is my own definition of grown

It's a sound of disappointment. It's a sound you make when you go

Like when you hear a really bad joke or if you you know are you see something?

That's a little sad or ridiculous or you're sick and you go?

you're groaning okay, so

Don't groan. You're a grown adult

So don't groan can also mean like don't like be a baby and complain

My life is terrible

You're a grown adult okay

next

heel heel heel

similar to the first example

this one a chi apostrophe

Ll some people pronounce this as hill similar to you know a small mountain

But a lot of people also pronounce it as heel

so he will he'll call you or he'll call you if you

Talk to a certain person from a certain part of the world

Are not necessarily even a certain part of the world is just personal preference

I think so, then you have heel h e al so a doctor will heal

you know whatever injuries you have so to make well or to make better and

This refers to an injury if you're hurt

You can get healed or if you play role-playing games like oh final Fantasy 7

This is red 13 you have heal potions right or healing magic

So you can heal your characters make them better make them well

+ Hp basically and h ee L

He'll this is the back and bottom part of a person's foot

So this part here the very back of your foot the bottom part back is your heel

Very famous, you know cultural

touchstone for this word is

the Achilles Heel

So if you have an achilles heel it means you have a weakness and this comes from a greek myth. Where?

Achilles is heel. You know cause some misfortune, so please

Yeah, remember achilles heel

morning, and

Morning. I know you know morning. It's the first part of the day

It's probably one of the first 20 words you learn when you're studying English

And you're an intermediate student so we don't need to review it

but morning mo you are and ing now this refers to a period of

grief

Sorrow or

sadness

usually

You are in

Mourning so you see the phrase here in

Mourning after the death of a loved one or maybe a pet that you had for a very long time

So you can use the verb to mourn Em oh you are N

And you can mourn the loss of a loved one

Mourn the loss of a pet or someone that you care about a friend or family member, and you can also be in

Mourning for something okay, so we have five six

Seven and what comes after seven?

Boom eight you got it eight poll poll

so poll can be a noun which can be like a long cylindrical thing like you think of a

telephone Pole or A

fishing pole, I think of like a long stick basically so a

pole can also be a noun or a verb

tol, L and basically this is a sample of opinions about a topic or

Pull the verb can mean you know to conduct a survey that collects a sample of opinions about a topic

usually around elections

You hear a lot in the news about?

opinions polls

Where people give their opinions about the candidates who are running for office?

Okay, so for example

This is a different example than talking about elections and politics

We need to poll people about the new telephone on Pole

So if your local government has placed a telephone pole

And maybe a weird location that is blocking people, or that is dangerous

You might need to pull the neighborhood saying do you support the location of this telephone pole?

And maybe they do, maybe they don't but you can pull people

about the pole

It's hard thinking of examples guys help me right. Thank you for your patience number nine wrapped and

Wrapped so wrapped can be a noun or verb for the style of music

Performed by people like Eminem or snoop Dogg or kid cudi. I think is like a more recent one and

Rap can be a noun or a verb

if I have you know a cut on my arm, I can use a bandage to

wrap

Around my arm a wrap it can also be a delicious

Little sandwich that you buy at McDonald's or any other fast-food restaurant or not even fast food restaurants?

But you can eat a rat a chicken wrap a beef wrap Etc. So I like to rap while I rap

So if you're wrapping your arm, and you like to talk about what you're doing you can rap like rap

I'm not going to rap so I don't know how to rap comparable edit number 10 roll and roll

ro Ll can be a noun or a verb

now this means to move along a surface by turning over and

Over so you can like roll a tire from your car right you can push it and it rolls

okay, and

it can also be

Roll you can roll. Sorry this one you can also like roll dice when you're playing games like

Any game really that has dice or dungeons and dragons if you play that?

Role, Rol. II this is a noun and this refers to a part in a play a

Movie or any type of performance so let's look at the two examples here

we have

Roll up the carpet please alright, so if you are changing the carpet in your floor in your floor

Well yeah in your room or in your living room or something like that

You know your mother or someone in the house might ask you to like hey, roll up the carpet. We're changing it

so we need to get it out and roll it up please and

It's kind of cute. You know rap rap poll poll. Why is this important well?

it's important number one so that you know the spelling of these words, and you know how to use them in context and

you know how to understand what people are saying when they are using these words and

You know in a conversation so that you don't think they're saying rapped when they really mean

rap

Okay, so if they say I love raps

Like you know. I love raps. I hope to eat raps, or you love raps. You love to listen to Rap music
