Homophones

The idea of the blog came from the correction of my mistake by Mr. Bijan to the word 'week' instead of 'weak'. The word homophone means one word that has the same pronunciation of another word or two, but they have a different meaning or spelling, such as the two words mentioned above, or (sun/ son), (too/ two), (sea/ see). Sun is the star which the earth orbits or revolves around it. While son means a boy or a man related or associated to both his parents. Too means so, likewise or to the higher degree. Two means this number "2" or more than one.  I made a terrible mistake when I was writing my last blog, love. I wrote this sentence (I was week). The word week refers to a period of seven or five days. Of course,. I meant (I was weak).  Weak here, as an adjective means lacking the power or the ability to perform physically. This is all because of love. Honestly, I was trembling when I wrote that sentence. My concentration was poor remembering those painful moments of my life. Nevertheless, that was not an excuse for me to make such a terrible mistake like that.  So please, watch out for homophones.
