Grammar Zone | Here vs. Hear and Where vs. Wear

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack explains the differences between here and hear and where and wear.Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the Edison English podcast. My name is Jack, and today I have a solo episode for you and we are in the grammar zone.00:00:13JackAnd we are.00:00:13JackGoing to continue our lessons on homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same, but they are spelled differently.00:00:25JackAnd today's homophone.00:00:29JackOur home phones are here and here.00:00:34JackAnd the spelling for the first one is here HERE.00:00:39JackAnd this one indicates a place or a location. So for example, come here and sit down.00:00:50JackUM, sometimes when we are meeting someone at A at a destination.00:00:58JackWe will send a text message and say I'm here.00:01:02JackI'm here, meaning I'm here at the place where we are going to meet.00:01:09JackAnd so that would always be HERE, here, here.00:01:17JackNow there is.00:01:20JackAnother word.00:01:22JackQRHEAR.00:01:25JackWhich sounds exactly like HERE. The pronunciations are exactly the same.00:01:32JackOK here here.00:01:34JackBut HEAR.00:01:38JackRefers to the act of perceiving sound, so.00:01:44JackHearing sound right and you can see you. It's in the word hearing, right?00:01:51JackThe the ability or the act of sound going into your ear.00:02:06JackSound waves going into your ear.00:02:09JackOr into your ears and creating sound for you. That is the act of hearing.00:02:17JackThe act of hearing. And so you could ask someone this question, can you hear the music, you might say to someone listen.00:02:28JackCan you hear the music? And maybe there's there is some softly playing music.00:02:35JackIn the distance.00:02:38JackOK. Or the music is too loud?00:02:43JackI can't hear you.00:02:46JackOK. Or speak more loudly please, because I can't hear you. That's HEAR.00:02:57JackSo there there are two homophones here and here.00:03:02JackAnd I'm going.00:03:03JackTo do 2 more uh. To make this episode a little bit longer, this would be a really short episode. If we only do here.00:03:11JackSo let's.00:03:11JackDo where and where.00:03:14JackOK, so where and where?00:03:16JackWhere WHERE? Asks about a place or a location for example. Where did you go?00:03:26JackOhh, I went to America.00:03:30JackWhere the place? What place did you go? OK. Location or place? Where are you?00:03:38JackYou could send again like that text message.00:03:41JackWhere are you? I'm here. I'm at the place where we are meeting. I'm here.00:03:48JackI'm next to.00:03:49JackThe subway. Ohh OK.00:03:54JackThe second one where WEAR.00:03:58JackRefers to putting on clothes or accessories. Accessories would be like you wear a necklace or you can wear earrings, or you can wear rings.00:04:09JackClothes would be you're wearing shirts and pants and socks and underwear and a hat.00:04:15JackOK.00:04:17JackWearing clothes.00:04:19JackOr wearing accessories.00:04:22JackFor example.00:04:24JackI like to wear hats.00:04:27JackAnd this is something that I really love. I love to wear hats. I have a lot of baseball caps.00:04:35JackI always wear a baseball cap.00:04:39JackSo I love to wear hats. I love to wear hats, so wear wear here and here.00:04:49JackAnd hopefully that is helpful for you.00:04:55JackAnd if you want to contact me in on e-mail with some example sentences.00:05:02JackYou can contact me at A-Z, [email protected]:05:07JackOr you could join our WhatsApp group in the AZ WhatsApp group.
