Homonyms

One reason writers make mistakes is because they write a word that sounds like the word they want to use rather than the right one. Practice your commonly confused homonyms by using each pair in a sentence correctly.

there/their/they're
where/were
write/right
which/witch
its/it's
meet/meat
threw/through
definitely/defiantly
tale/tail
hole/whole
to/too/two

E.g. for weak/week: "I felt weak for a week."
