TOT: Back to some easy ones

We’re really pooped here but on the mend. Thought about skipping “Three on Thursday” but, since I already called a snow day last week, I didn’t want to let it go another week. *wink* (Didn't want to lose all those faithful readers!) I picked “easy” ones so I hope they are still helpful. So, put on your middle school thinkin’ caps and here we go:

We’re/were/wear/where
We’re: contraction of “we are” as in “we’re all going to be taking naps today.”
Were: past tense of ‘are” as in “we were up late each night this week.”
Wear: to carry or have on the body as in “wear your boots today.”
Where: the “locational” one, “here” is contained within as a reminder, used like “you want to go where today?”

Piece/peace/peas
Piece: a separate or limited portion or quantity of something as in “a piece of candy.”
Peace: a state of mutual harmony between people or groups as in “keep the peace with your brother.”
Peas: plural of the standard green veggie.

Accept/except
Accept
: to take or receive (something offered); receive with approval or favor as in “I accept your apology”
Except: the one with the “x” means you are “x”-cluding something as in “you may all go except Billy”


That’s it for this week. Sorry it’s a little lame…LOL
