*** English Lesson Notes / transcript:  ***

In today’s English lesson you will learn the difference between heel, heal and he’ll
Let’s get started!
---------------------------
Hello Real Fluency Friends! I’m Trisha and I’m here to teach you Real English used in Real Life so you can reach Real Fluency! Now!  

And today you will learn the difference between heel, heal and he’ll
-------------------------------------------

We’re going to start off a little different this time.  
Can you find the mistakes in this tweet:

 [text is below]

If that is too small, here it is again, 
a little bigger and easier to read:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Our great country has been divided for
decade,but it will come together again.
Sometimes protest is needed in order to
heel,and heel we will.  
---------------------------------------------------------

heel   noun

- back part of foot, below ankle
- part of shoe
- end of loaf of bread
- a bad or selfish person

verb
- used as a command to tell a dog to walk next to you

Sample Sentences:

My heel has been really sore today, I can barely walk.
I really hate wearing shoes with high heels. 
Some people really prefer to eat the heel, but others don't want to eat it. 
He really came across as a heel in his speech a few days ago.  

--------------------------------------------------------------
Heal  verb
- to become or to make healthy or well again

Sample Sentences:
He was injured really badly and it will take him a long time to heal.

Related:
health     (heal)
wealth
stealth     (steal/steel)

-----------------------------------------------------------
he'll
- he will

He'll be very happy that his rocket launched successfully today.  

--------------------------------------------------------------
Do you understand the mistake that was made in the tweet using the word 'heel'?  And what word should have been used?

------------------------------------------------------------
Another mistake was in the first part:
     'Our great country has been divided for
       decade ... '

A decade is a period of 10 years.  The way it
was written implies he meant to use the plural
form - 'decades'.  To be grammatically 
correct a person would have to say either:   
     
'Our great country has been divided for a decade ... '
or
'Our great country has been divided for decades... '
----------------------------------------------------------------
Punctuation:
one space after a comma
2 spaces after a period

------------------------------------------------------------------
            Short quiz to test yourself 
      - try to answer in the comments!

Fill in the blanks with either heel or heal:

1) The _____ of her shoe broke off.

2) She's needed to have surgery on her ____  4 times so far.  

3) Sometimes mental wounds take longer
to ____ than physical injuries.  

4) He behaved like such a ____  when he made fun of her because she didn't walk normally due to an injury to her ____  that didn't
____ completely.  

I'll give the answers in the description!
