Sentence That Can Be Spoken But Cannot Be Written In English?

A sentence that cannot be written in English?

Three words in English: TO, TWO and TOO.

Write it in a sentence: “There are three twos in the English language.” or write “There are three meanings of the word to in English” or “There are three ways to spell too in the English language.” or figure out a way to write it out.

There are three theres in the English language. Their pronunciation is similar, if not the same. They’re easy to differentiate when used in any particular context.

:wink:

Easy!

‘Two’ is a homophone of three words in the English language.

Ate two, Brutus?

Will nobody think of the homophonephobics? :eek:

The word two is a homophone, meaning words that are pronounced alike but spelled differently, as too and to are examples.

There, got it in one sentence.

>‘Two’ is a homophone of three words in the English language.

Actually, it’s a homophone of just two words, “to” and “too”, and is not a homophone of itself, is it?

There is only one “two” in the English language.

According to the Dictionary, there are about 21 meanings for the word “to.”

I can only think of one way to spell “too.”

Here’s the written sentence I think you’re looking for:
“There are three words that sound like /tū/ in the English language.”

Too, to, and two are homonyms.

Three English words are pronounced ‘two’.

“There are three English words that sound like /tū/. Two of them are too and to. The third word is very common; in fact you have just encountered it. What is the third word?”

The answer is, of course, three.

Simple. Pronounce them as they were originally pronounced.

“To*,” “two**,” and “too*” have become homophones over time.

  • Prounounced something like “toe”
    ** Pronounced the way it’s spelled, with the “w” pronounced and rhymes with “toe”
    *** Prounounced the way we currently prounouce it (well, there is a difference due to the Great Vowel Shift, but close enough).

This page of the dictionary contains the words “too” to “two.”
