Dear (not Deer) English Lovers, Homonyms are a pain (not a pane). They're (not their or there) confusing and vain (not vein or vane). And worse this is a moot (not a mute) point because I (not eye) didn't make the rules -- someone more (not moor) intelligent did...or so I am told. Sincerely, A Heart (not Hart) Broken Student Last week's answers: pal to pale, fir to fire, and car to care.   Just add an “E” and much is changed.
A friend loses all color, A tree ignites, And a vehicle can have a heart. Last week dessert to desert, stake to take, and sour to our. Subtract an “S” and Something sweet becomes dry. Something for camping becomes stolen. And something bitter becomes shared. (Answers coming next week :0)   Consider some ‘ing’ words that have one letter substituted...
Leafing and leaving – the first means spring is near And the second means you are almost not. Starring and starting – one indicates a professional And one means a novice. Plaining and plaiting – the first means lamenting And the second means braiding. See how much one letter matters? Now some ‘ing’ words That have one extra letter, Baking – you have something sweet. Balking – is only sweet for the batting team. Barring – you are not allowed, Baring – you are allowed way too much! Basing – you now have a firm foundation, Basking – you now have a sunburn. Last weeks answers: Kin to King, Kid to Kind, and Kit to Kite. And those are just the “Bs”.  |
