        HI 
         and welcome to
 
  
      quirky cottages

        Do you know
     what a heterograph
             or
    a homophone is......??

     Also, do you know what
        a homonym is?

   I have used alot of them
    in my "wacky" website!!

A heterograph is a word that sounds the same as another, but has a different spelling and meaning.

For example...

there is    "you"

And a female sheep is called a "ewe"  .
Both sound the same, but have different spelling and different meanings.


A homophone is....

When a word has the same sound, has the same or different spelling but means something totally different!

for example..

a plane

"plain" paper

then also, a plain, like in an a vast open field



And a homonym, has the same spelling, same sound but also means something diferent


For example...

A patient when used as a noun, is a person
who requires medical attention , like a  pateint in hostpital.

Then there is also "patient"
which is an adjective that describes the calm temperament of a person. A patient person is someone who can wait long periods of time for something, without complaining or getting upset.

This by the way, is a very good skill to learn!! It is very comforting and calming to be around patient people. Easy going and happy people are often very patient!!

A person is impatient, (which means the opposite), often get upset and angry
when they have to wait long preiods of time for things or have to do things that take a long time!! It's certainly not realxing to be around impatient people.

          There is a very old saying that I love,

     GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT!!!!


In my 
quirky website, I have used a lot of pictures
and photos instead of using words. I also have used many heterographs, homophones and homonyms, using
.

See how many you can find through out my website.
                            Good Luck!!

Believe me,
 you
will need a lot of patients
                                              ( meaning patience!!!)
