Homophones are words that are pronounced the  same but they have different spellings and  

different meanings. Our words today are hurts  which means to cause pain or injury and hurt  

it is an SI unit of frequency equaling one  second or a rental car chain in the U.S.

To say these words correctly we have four sounds.  Let's start with that h sound. Super easy for  

the h. Open your mouth and let the air just  continue out. Sounds kind of like a sigh. Next,  

we're going to move to that ER. I'm writing that  two letters equaling one sound. To say an ER,  

square tense lips, tip of the tongue  is down, or it is flipped back,  

back of the tongue is always pulled up, tongue is  not touching any of the teeth in the mouth. ER.

Then touch the tip of the tongue to the  back of the top front teeth for that t.  

And then pull it down for the s. Tip  of the tongue is either down or behind  

the top front teeth. It's not touching  so the air can move out of the mouth.

Let's put it all together: hurts  

hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts

And now for a sentence:

Frequencies above 25,000  Hertz hurts your dog's ears.
