I am doing this homophone extra credit sheet and if my paper is in first i will get 50 points extra credit. I have only 3 left out of the 43. Can you please help?
1. To cut candies in small pieces
2. A just - born antelope

The last one makes absolutely no since... who can do that?!?!?
Hmmm. You think since and sense are homophones?
1. mince mints
2. new gnu
3. feet feat
Of course, I'd be happy to help you with your homophone extra credit sheet! Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Let's go through each question and find the correct homophone for each sentence:
1. To cut candies in small pieces: The homophone for "cut candies in small pieces" is "hacked" (past tense of "hack"). So, the answer is "hacked."
2. A just-born antelope: The homophone for "just-born" is "neon" (a type of gas used in lamps and signs). So, the answer is "neon."
3. To tie a bow with one's toes: I understand that this sentence seems a bit odd, but it's meant to be a playful and imaginative exercise for homophones. The homophone for "tie a bow with one's toes" is "toe" (referring to the body part). So, the answer is "toe."
Remember, homophones are all about sound, not necessarily logical sense. It's a fun way to explore different words that sound alike but have different meanings. Keep up the good work, and I hope this helps you complete your extra credit sheet!
