What children learn in Level 22
- Homophones sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things.
- To, too, and two: to means toward, too means also or more than enough, and two is the number 2.
- There is a place. Their means belongs to them. They're is short for they are.
- Its means belongs to it, like the dog wagged its tail. It's is short for it is.
- Some words are easy to mix up. Advice, with a c, is a noun: good advice. Advise, with an s, is a verb: I advise you to rest.
