📚 Rules to Remember • Lesson 45
Rule 1 • Homophones
Words pronounced identically (/noʊ/) but differing in spelling and meaning are called
homophones
(same sound).
Rule 2 • Silent K in KN-
In words beginning with
kn-
(
know, knee, knife, knot
), the letter
k
is completely silent before
n
.
Rule 3 • Meaning Check
Use
no
for refusal or "not any". Use
know
when referring to knowledge, memory, or certainty in the mind.
