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.
