jgar06 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Did anyone else that was learning English have a hard time distinguishing between homophones? I remember in the beginning of my elementary school days when I was on line for lunch and we could only get 1 dessert (not desert haha), so I told the lunch lady I wanted a cupcake and the kid behind me said "me too". I literally though he was asking for 2 cupcakes so I told the lunch lady if I could have 2 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberGenius Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Your story is kind of funny. I didn't have any problem with homophones, since I could always trace the exact word to the context of usage. Although, homophones can be really confusing.

Rosa Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Homophones can be a bit tricky when you are a child. However, reading a lot makes it easier to get acquainted with each homophone and identify them differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
