ENGLISH LEARNING

After our visit to the museum and especially after visiting the neurozona room, we realised that the brain is the one that processes and produces language. We also saw a memory game related to pronunciation of words that sound similar but are completely different words. We heard words like catch and cash - thing and think , among other. This kind of words are called homophone. According to Cambridge dictionary, this type of words are pronounced the same as another but has a different meaning or spelling, or both. For example: to - too - two right - write close - clothes Activity Work in pairs and find 5 more homophone  words (1 homophone: 2 or 3 words) to add to the memory game played in MIM and look for the right pronunciation.

We use punctuation to create sense, clarity and stress in sentences and we use punctuation marks to structure and organise our writing . Sometimes we tend to use punctuation marks according Spanish punctuation rules and we forget that English has its own rules.  Here it is a document with the basic punctuation rules used in English by the Writing Centre of Azusa Pacific University.
