DeleteCan I also point out that ‘being’ and ‘been’ don’t sound alike so there’s no justification for that error!

DeleteLose and Loose. The easiest way I’ve always remembered the difference is: If you lose something, you lose an "o"
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteAnon 14:53
DeleteWow! This is such a great way to tell the difference. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Anon, I don't think these are homophones.
DeleteThey are pronounced differently. Even similar spellings does not mean similar pronounciation. ❤️
Casey it is.
DeleteLose/loose
I am trying to lose some weight so that my clothes can be loose on me.
Lose is when something is lost.
She keeps losing her glasses (that means she has lost her glasses often)
Loose:the particles of sand are quite loose.
The weather is quite hot,endeavour to wear loose clothings.
I am talking about the pronounciations not their meanings.
DeleteTrue Homophones have same pronounciations and loose and lose do not. They aren't homophones.
Lose is pronounced as looZ with a Z not S
Write means to form letters, right means correct e.g can you write the right answer?
ReplyDeletehere is a place while hear is to listen e.g come here so you can hear me.
see/sea e.g I can see the sea from my window.
That's right 👍🏼

Faith and fate
ReplyDeleteFaith is a trust,confidence or ability of a person while fate is effect, consequences or outcome of something.
Glory's own is the best. I don't know what the rest of you are writing.
DeleteNo Shady it isn't. Though she tried.
DeleteBut the pronunciations are different.
Faith and fate are pronounced differently, although they sound quite similar.
Faith ends with a TH sound.
So it rhymes with eighth
Fate ends with a T sound.
It rhymes with date.
So, though she tried other tried more.
DeleteSo, though she tried others tried more.
DeleteOh, thanks guys, th and T. Thank you very much
DeleteQuiet/ quite
