Homophones for Grades 2


What are Homophones?


Definition: Homophones are special words that sound the same when we say them, but they have different meanings and are spelled differently.

Examples:
  • I (when you talk about yourself) and eye (the part of your body you see with).
  • Ate (the past tense of eat) and eight (the number 8).
  • There (a place), their (something that belongs to them), and they’re (short for “they are”).
  • Sea (a big body of saltwater) and see (to look at something).

👉 Homophones can be tricky, but learning them makes reading and writing more fun!

Understanding Simple Present Tense for Grade 3 | Part 1

Understanding Simple Present Tense for Grade 3 The simple present tense is a key grammar concept for Grade 3 students. It helps us talk about actions that happen regularly, facts, or general truths. The simple present tense is used when we describe daily routines or things that are always true. For regular verbs, we simply use the base form of the verb, except when talking about he , she , or it , where we add -s or -es to the verb. For example: I play football. She plays football. He runs fast. We also use the simple present to express facts, such as: The sun rises in the east. Water boils at 100°C.

Understanding Solute, Solvent, and Solution Explained

  Solute, Solvent, and Solution In science, we often come across mixtures of different substances, and one of the most common mixtures is a solution. Solutions are everywhere, from the water we drink to the air we breathe, and even in the food we eat. But what exactly is a solution, and how are its components identified? To fully understand this, we need to break down the three key terms that define a solution: solute, solvent, and solution. What is a Solution? A solution is a type of mixture in which two or more substances combine in such a way that they cannot be easily separated. In other words, the substances dissolve completely and blend at the molecular level, becoming indistinguishable from one another. A solution is typically made up of two parts: the solute and the solvent. Let’s use an example to explain this. When you stir sugar into a glass of water, the sugar dissolves completely, and the resulting mixture is called a solution. But why does this happen? It's all becaus...
