Free School provides this brief, to-the-point description of homophones. The video isnt going to win any awards for imagination, however it works in its delivery of the guidelines for using their, theyre, and there..

On Sunday morning I was writing in a bit of a rush and failed to discover an error in the title of my post about utilizing the netstat command to see the connections a computer is making to external websites and devices. I understand the difference and have taught the distinction to students for as long as I can remember.

GCF Learn Free uses this 90 second video description of when to use there, theyre, and their. The video utilizes little GI Joe characters to discuss the right usage of each word. Judging by the YouTube remarks below the video the majority of people like the method of the video but some do not like the use a military theme for the video.
