Homophones

The continuation of one of the most instructive lessons corresponded today: homophones.  Is good to remember that this type of words are pronounced identically but have different spellings and meanings. In previous lessons we saw a very interesting homophones´s list consists of the following words:

        In today's lesson, this was the list. It was very successful because it included everyday words and perhaps, those who do not have much skill with the English, would tend to confuse them when  they write or communicate orally. 
ant---hormiga                dear---querid@                 bear---oso                          bored---aburrid@
aunt---tía                       deer---ciervo                     bare---desnud@                 board---tablón
                 sent---envió                       cent---centavo                         scent---olor
                
-A tiny black ant crawled on the picnic table.
-My aunt  is married to my uncle.
-She had always loved her dear friend.   
-A baby deer is called a fawn.
-I froze with fear at the sight of the bear near my tent.
-The walls were bare and had no decoration.
-I had nothing to do , so I felt really bored.
-Use a flat wooden board to make a shelf.
-My grandmother sent me a letter in the mail.
-The value of a penny is equal to one cent.
-The dog sniffed the scent to find the bone.
