Problems One of the problems with the English language is “pronunciation” (the sound of a word) &………. Can anyone guess what else????? Come on now someone………….anyone…… “ SPELLING” is correct! This is because what you see in English is not necessarily what you say so BE VERY CAREFUL!!!

One of the problems with the English language is “pronunciation” (the sound of a word) &……….

Can anyone guess what else?????

Come on now someone………….anyone……

“ SPELLING” is correct!

This is because what you see in English is not necessarily what you say so BE VERY CAREFUL!!!

Example of Problem For example: The “two” and “too” sound alike but have very different meanings. One indicates a number and the other means also; excessive; or extremely Some other examples would be: “ see” and “sea” “bear” and “bare” “ flew” and “flu” “no” and know”

For example:

The “two” and “too” sound alike but have very different meanings. One indicates a number and the other means also; excessive; or extremely

Some other examples would be:

“ see” and “sea” “bear” and “bare”

“ flew” and “flu” “no” and know”

Helpful Information!!!! Other things you should know is that words in the English language sometimes don’t look the way they sound…..SO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION every word you encounter!!! Does anyone know of any examples of this rule??? Examples: though, cough, tough, through, Can someone tell me a pattern you noticed?

More Information! Most of these words end in “ough” & that is a big hint. But what about the words like “know”, “knew”, “knife”, “knock”, and “knee”? Yes…..they begin with a “kn” but sounds like they should begin with the letter “n” so where is the “k” sound at………IT’S SILENT!!!
