Beschreibung

I know you've witnessed your child use their or there when they meant they're. Or the other way around. The same goes for to, too and two. I've even see adults mix it up. Heck, I've even seen it in published books.

But that's understandable because they are some of the most misused words in the English language. Don't let your child suffer those mistakes. Let Queen Shinobi teach your child how to use those words properly.

About the Author

Part I

There, Their, and They’re

There are a lot of words that sound alike even though they’re spelled differently. When we first learn the language, these words are often the more difficult ones to learn.

This is one of the most difficult for people to learn because it has not two, but three words that sound alike. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to determine the differences. Read on and we’ll let Queen Shinobi teach us how.

A Day to Be Lazy

Punch tiptoed out the barn door. He didn’t want to make any noise because his brother and sisters were still sleeping—his mom too. He sneaked out as quietly as he could, then smiled as he saw the front gate open; someone had forgotten to lock it. Now he could go to the front yard and munch fresh green grass.

For almost an hour, Punch chewed all the grass he could, and nobody was there to bother him, not even Biscotti. Then he was joined by his sister Willow, who walked up alongside the tree. She must have seen the gate open. I should have closed it, Punch thought.

Punch and Willow in front yard

“Hey, Punch. Good morning.”

“Shh,” Punch said. “Don’t let too much noise. We’re not allowed here.”

“Why not?”

“Because Mr. and Mrs. Farmer don’t let us in the front yard.”

“Not even to eat grass?” Willow asked.

“Especially not to eat grass,” Punch said. “They want to keep the front yard nice. And that means no rooting.”

Willow looked over to Punch, her eyes squinted. “What are we going to do?”

“We’re gonna munch some more grass, then we’ll get out of here before we get caught.”

Punch and Willow ate grass for another few minutes, then sneaked back out of the yard, being careful not to make noise.

“Close the gate partway,” Willow said. “Maybe they won’t notice it’s open.”

Punch turned around and used his nose to nudge the gate partway closed, leaving it open just enough so that he could get in there again.
