What is a homophone? That's what I'm going to show you in this video. In this video, I'm going to explain what a homophone is and also show you a recent typo mistake President Trump made on his tweet with the words heel and heal. 
Homophones can be very confusing, even for native speakers. 
Now, what is a homophone?
Homophones are words that have the same sound, you pronounce them the same way, however, they have different meanings.
That's what happened to President Trump's tweet. He used "heel" instead of "heal" 
Learning homophones takes time, but it can be done! As you study English, you will come across many examples of homophones. To help you get started, I will give you a list of 10 basic pairs of homophones, ok? I hope this list can help you get started.
