Isn't it Desert, spelled with one S, refers to a dry region. Dessert, spelled with two S's, refers to a sweet dish eaten after a meal.

[@ilovehellokittyforever.]

@@Avikar88 yh me too

[@yetufekci1]

Same here, I thought I was always wrong!

[@weird.butterfly]

Yes but desert is a dry, sandy place but a can be deserted as in left or abandoned.

[@CandidWord]

Dessert = (noun) yummy food
de SERT = (verb) to leave, withdraw, or abandon. Usually a negative action.
DEsert = (noun) usually a waterless area
dessert and deSERT sound the same.
This is the focus in this lesson.
Some words in English change their meaning from noun to verb (sometimes unrelated) by the word syllable stress when you sound out the word. That, of course, would be a different lesson.
Examples:
Noun: DEsert, REcord, CONtract, ...
Verb: deSERT, reCORD, conTRACT, ...
Hope this helps! 😊

[@lillymay3632]

No; it's the other way round. 'Desert' = Pudding and 'Dessert' = Arid, dry and sandy place.

[@alijaras]

3:18
Fine has a 3rd meaning
It means precise or accurate
Example: This Drawing has lots of *fine* details.

[@justyna365]

Also fine as a good quality. For example fine wine.

[@Devilravi4930]

czcams.com/video/dZIY6ImsbY4/video.html

[@dom_toredo]

Match also has another meaning as Verb. To match two things

[@TuesdayK970]

It also means to an adjective commenting on someone's aesthetics. Like she's a fine girl

[@elkesteinlein97]

...and also fine like thin- a fine line...

[@Steevee5k]

Match can also be used as a noun or verb, indicating that two things can fit together. Like when you have a fingerprint from a crimescene and compare it with criminal records you can or cannot find a match (or matching set).

[@teacher11english35]

czcams.com/video/KCs-W4Av694/video.html

[@68MalKontent]

Yes, it's really annoying that she repeatedly skips important cases in lists like this, and later makes a new video with a different combination of words including the previously skipped one, but omitting one of the original ones, which defies the purpose of pointing out all important aspects of spelling and pronounciation of similsr words in one place.
There was a video a year or so ago, when she mentioned desert and dessert, but completely omitted the pronounciation of "desert" as a verb meaning abandon. WTF!

[@shantielangovan3802]

We also use" match" with reference to a game of cricket or any sport.

[@josephgarza2772]

1. Desert: an arid area with sand.
2. Dessert: a cake, pie, or other sweet dish usually served after the main coarse of a meal.
1. Mean: cruel.
2. Mean: to intend.
3 Mean: in a graph, mean line is an average of all the y point values, parallel to the x axis.
1. Bow: a weapon that accelerates an arrow.
2. Bow: In Japan, bow your head.
3. Bow: The front part of a ship.
Your job is most difficult. Thank you.

[@girishsingh6139]

Yes dessert desert

[@alinglingwannabeinthewild471]

About that there's a mistake in the desert part in your comment
She's talking about homographs: words with the same spelling but different pronunciations and meanings.
Desert as in Sahara desert is one and the other one is desert as in to abandon
The dessert you've written is different and not a homograph of desert

There's also a third definition of the word "MATCH" for example "This greetings card is identical to that greetings card. They MATCH each other."

[@teacher11english35]

czcams.com/video/KCs-W4Av694/video.html

[@yetufekci1]

Or "They make a good couple, it is a great match."

[@thotmayaduidang6545]

One homonym that Lucy misses here is the "match" like "matchmaking" for couples... Eg: The newly wed couple matched perfectly... Thanks for the video & the content that you create spending your priceless time, energy, etc. I really appreciate & thankful for what you did... Keep up the good work Lucy.. Much love to you...

We were also taught at least with an American education that a homonym was also different meanings, same pronunciation and different spelling: too, to and two. They’re their and there.

Lucy, I want to thank you very much for your videos. Since you started your CZcams channel, I started to follow you. I've moved from scratch to advanced, and right now I just got an extra payment job. You're always going to be my favourite teacher! Hugs from the other side of the ocean.

[@artyomgordeev7563]

11:54 As far as I understand, there is one more meaning of the noun "record" - the best result, for example in sports (The athlete broke the record which had been holding for twenty years). Therefore that's a homonym as well 😀

A sweet course eaten at the end of the meal is "dessert". Isn't the spelling same or different that of 'desert' ?

[@oscaroyaneder1143]

It certainly IS different. Actually, I couldn't find any dictionary in which it would be spelled with a single S with that meaning.

This is comment i was looking for. I thought I'd misspelled it all my life!

[@kimcuongtran5495]

@@oscaroyaneder1143 she is a native speaker and a teacher. The word "desert" can be a noun or a verb. When it is a verb, it is pronounced differently, you should use cambridge dictionary to look up that word and you will understand.

Dessert that means“Sweet”. It has an extra S. it’s not spelt as Desert.

[@englishconversationclub]

Yep, even native speakers make that mistake very often!

[@Jack_McKalling]

Awesome! One note though, there is a displayed sentence "The dogs bark was loud." at 2:41, but it's missing the apostrophe. Should be "The dog's bark was loud." Otherwise the noun doesn't match the verb.
It could also have been placed this way: "The dogs' barks were loud." but that requires changing the whole sentence to plural.

[@-rainbow.loom.bracelets-]

Do you mean apostrophe?

[@7MPhonemicEnglish]

The ow sound in 'cow' is actually a short 'a' (as in 'cat') followed by the 'oo' sound (as in 'poop'). In my new full phonetic alphabet, its spelled 'aq', where 'a' is a short 'a' and the 'Q' character represents the 'oo' sound and ONLY the 'oo' sound 100% of the time, so 'cow' = 'kaq', 'row' (argument) = 'raq', 'row' (in a line) = 'ro', 'foul' = 'faql', 'fowl' = 'faql', 'flower' = 'flaqr', 'flour' = 'flaqr' etc.
There is ONE letter per speech sound and ONE speech sound per letter. That's the hard, no exceptions rule of my new Full Phonetic Alphabet. No Clowns will be permitted to enter the building and turn it into a circus again.

I think desert* (sweet food) is actually spelled dessert (I looked it up in the dictionary). So, it wouldn't be a homonym with desert (dry region). Am I right?

[@andyroberts4387]

Dessert is pronounced the same as desert with the meaning to abandon or leave.
