Elision homophones and linking pairs
|
|
Hi People! I ´m trying to do some pronunciation games based on pairs where one of the consonants is missing from one of the homophone pairs. So far I have the following: facts fax prints prince patients patience I ´m also going to try and mix in some two word expressions with their linking word homophones. All I have at the moment is: Ice cream I scream Any ideas? |

These are fun, papadeli, but some of them sound similar but not quite the same. Those that aren ´t quite homophones are: delicate/delegate night rain/night train biggest hurdle/biggest turtle white shoes/why shoes can decay many ways/candy came anyways some others/some mothers Again, they do sound very similar, but not quite the same.
