What to Focus On
- Homophones sound the same but have different meanings.
- They may have different spellings.
- Using the wrong homophone can change the meaning of a sentence.
- Synonyms mean almost the same thing.
- They help make writing more interesting.
- Not all synonyms can be used in the same sentence — context matters.
- Compound nouns are formed by joining two words.
- The meaning of the compound noun is often different from the individual words.
- They can be written as one word, two words, or with a hyphen.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Homophones mean the same thing because they sound the same.
All words with 'un-' at the beginning mean the opposite.
If two words sound the same, they can be used interchangeably in writing.
