Morning all,
Bella Scribner here with this week’s Homonym Hop Toad. What’s that? You may well ask. A homonym Hop Toad is a word that sounds like another word, is spelled differently and means something totally different. If you use a misplaced homonym, it becomes a hop toad, Green, with yellow warts, and makes your reader laugh.
Today’s hop toads are the Three Theres. No, not bears, but theres.
There 1, spelled t h e r e, is a place, a preposition, the opposite of here. The book is there. There is a cat running on the lawn. My desk is there.
Their 2: spelled t h e i r. is a possessive pronoun. It refers to something that belongs to a group of people. It is their song. It is their house. Their dog is coming to stay for two weeks.
They’re 3: spelled t h e y ’ r e, is what is referred to in English Teacher circles as a contraction, a word that used to be two words and is made into one by using the apostrophe. They’re 3 stands for ‘they are. They’re coming soon. They’re not on the table, they’re in the closet. They’re going to San Juan next month.
Now that you’ve been introduced to these three toads, you will be able to tell the difference between them and use the right one in the right place, and you know what? If you do that, the toad changes magically into a pearl to grace your written words.
Hello Ann, I am so glad you are there to explain this stuff to us. But that is neither here nor there. The folks I have talked to about your blog tell me that they’re very excited to read what you have to write. They’re hoping to increase their own writing skills so they can start their own blogs. Maybe you will even go there and read them once you learn where they are. HMM! I wanted to write “they’re” there but it didn’t sound right to write that there. (LOL) Keep up the good work!
