Čo sú homofóny?
Homofóny sú slová, ktoré znejú rovnako, ale píšu sa inak a majú rôzne významy.
their / there / they're — všetky sa vyslovujú rovnako!
there / their / they're
| Slovo | Význam | Príklad |
|---|---|---|
| there | miesto alebo na začiatok vety | The book is over there. / There is a problem. |
| their | patriaci im (privlastňovacie) | I like their house. |
| they're | they are (skratka) | They're coming to dinner. |
Trik: they're má apostrof → skratka pre they are. Skús nahradiť slovami they are — ak to dáva zmysel, použi they're.
your / you're
| Slovo | Význam | Príklad |
|---|---|---|
| your | patriaci tebe | Is that your bag? |
| you're | you are (skratka) | You're very kind. |
to / too / two
| Slovo | Význam | Príklad |
|---|---|---|
| to | smer alebo súčasť infinitívu | I walk to school. / I like to read. |
| too | tiež; alebo príliš | I want some too. / That's too loud. |
| two | číslo 2 | I have two sisters. |
