homophone fun

[Robin]  Today we learned about homophones in reading.  What we did was we had a list of words that all had one or more more homophones.  We had to find at least one homophone for each word. Most of them were pretty easy like

• through   --->  threw

But the first one that I got stuck on was

• caught  --->  ?

I took a moment to think and then I thought of cot.

• caught  --->  cot

But when we were going through them the teacher said the homophone was 'court'.

• caught  --->  court ?!?!?!

I was confused because that is not a homophone!

I told he teacher that I though the homophone was cot and she was confused at first. Then she realized that I was American and she explained to the class that in America they say things differently.

The second one I got stuck on was

• floors ---> ????

Now guess what the homophone for that could be? It is tough isn't it.  Maybe it could be

• floors ---> flowers ?
• floors ---> flours ?
• floors ---> flares ?

Nope.  the actual answer is

• floors ----> flaws !?!?

Australians are wierd as.
