Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings:
Your ears can't tell them apart — only the meaning shows which spelling is right. Use the explorer above to meet the common sets.
The poem A Funny Man in your Poorvi reader is a light, humorous poem that plays with words and ideas to make you smile.
Read the full poem in your NCERT Poorvi reader, then ask: what makes the funny man funny?
When two words sound alike, pick the spelling that matches the meaning you want. Ask yourself what the word is doing in the sentence.
Worked example. Fill the blanks: "She went ___ the shop, and I went ___ (also)." (to / too / two)
The first blank shows direction — towards the shop — so use to. The second blank means "also", so use too. The answer is: "She went to the shop, and I went too."
Where you'll meet it
Picking the right homophone keeps your essays, exams and everyday texts free of careless slips. "Your" or "you're", "its" or "it's" — one tiny choice changes how your message reads.
The correct spelling makes your meaning exact. "Peace" and "piece" sound the same, but one means calm and the other a part — the right choice tells the reader exactly what you mean.
