Homophones, that is, those words that sound the same, but have different meanings and can have different spellings, are one of the biggest problems for Spanish speakers, as there can be many mistakes while writing, to avoid that the following must be taken into account:

• “He is”: is the conjugation of the verb “to have”, and is used followed by the indicative: I hope Luis agrees; Do you think I understood correctly?
• “Hall”: is the conjugation of the verb “find”, which means “to search for (se)”; to find a person or thing to be searched for; He ingeniously discovered something hitherto unknown: the organization’s headquarters in Paris; Find the hypotenuse of the following right-angled triangle.

“have” and “see”

As in the previous case, we are dealing with homonyms that are easy to confuse.To avoid making a spelling mistake, keep in mind the following:

• “to have”: is a verb used as an auxiliary, followed by the participle, to form the compound infinitives of a conjunction: I should have imagined it would end like this. It is also used as a verb to denote being or being: there shall be scissors.
• “let’s see”: Here is the sequence made up of the preposition “a” and the infinitive “see”: Let’s see what’s here. It is most commonly used as a fixed phrase with different meanings: to see how long this process takes; Let us see, I speak to you; Let’s see if by this you learn to value money more; – You won a prize – Let’s see? Let’s see!, we shall organize this now.

“finished and done”

In order not to confuse these homonyms, keep in mind the following:

• “Throw – expel – slander”: It is a form of the verb ‘throw’ which means, roughly, ‘to throw away’, ‘to deposit or deposit’ and ‘to throw out’: I always put papers in the bin; If you add more salt to the soup, you spoil it. You always spoil everything. I almost burst into tears. I miss you (the verb echar is part of the expression “echar de menos,” which means “to miss”).
• “to make”: It is a form of the verb “to do”, plus the masculine noun (something that is done or happens), and is part of the phrase “in fact” (“in fact, in fact”): Did you do what I told you? The fact is that we have solved the problem. I wanted to forget her. Indeed, I tried not to see her again; It was completed!

“Wow”, “Fence” and “Berry”

In addition to the fact that these are homophones, the correct use of the letters “b” and “v” is confusing to many people, as well as “y” and “ll”. Therefore, keep in mind the following:
