Every homophones are sound the same, but they all means different.

While we speak, it sounds the same... but clearly differ in meaning.. for e.g.

  • It was too late to buy two bottles of wine for the party.

The important is to understand the meaning of each homophones before using them.

Practice and experience! There is no easy way round it! If it is any consolation to "would be" English speakers there are many words that cause confusion amongst native English speakers!!!

I believe that grammar is the most important concept in human communication. It is how people ensure that they are understood properly. It is indeed important to use words properly in order to get your point across effectively. For instance, misusing "their" there" and "they're" can create great confusion. "Their" is used as possessive adjective, "there" is an adverb, and "they're" is a contraction that combines the words "they are".

It is very important for someone to know English for that it is the international language of the world. Not using the correct English grammar/ punctuation could lead to a misunderstanding or miscommunication of the intended message.
