List of Homophones for Grade 2! English can be a confusing language, even for native speakers. This is because there are many words that sound alike but have different meanings. These words are called homophones, and they can be difficult to keep straight.
For example, the words “they’re” and “their” both refer to possession, but “they’re” is used when two people own something together and “their” is used when one person owns something. Another common homophones pair is “you’re” and “your.” “You’re” is short for “you are,” while “your” shows possession.
These may seem like small distinctions, but it’s important to use the correct word in order to communicate your meaning clearly. The following is a list of common homophones for grade 2 students:
