1. Title : Their /e/ there /'e/, and theyre /e/: An Introduction to

Homophones

2. Subject : Grammar

3. Topic : Their, there, and theyre (Homophones)

4. Method : GTM

5. Grade Level : Low-Intermediate (Intermediate/8th grade)

6. Time Allocated : 10 Minutes

7. Teaching Instruments : Whiteboard, Steady hand to write on the board.

8. Objective : By the end of the lesson, Students will be able to tell the

difference between the homophones "their," "there," and "theyre."

9. Materials : Their /e/ there /'e/, and theyre /e/ are homophones.

Homo means same, and phone means sound. Words that are homophones will

have the same sounds. Words like there and their sound the same, but as we have shown,

have different spellings and different meanings. To those who are new to English,

homophones may seem extremely confusing.

i. There: is a noun, an adverb, an interjection, a pronoun, an idiom, or an adjective,

but it does not show possession. Only the word their (not there) shows possession.

ii. Their: is a pronoun, or a determiner almost always followed by a noun. That is not

true of the word there, which often stands alone as noun or pronoun.

iii. Theyre: is a contraction of they are.
