Answer:

Correct Usage

  • Your order is ready
  • They're always willing to help
  • It's cold and windy today
  • The dog wagged its tail.

Incorrect Usage

  • I didn't see you their
  • Can i come, to?

Step-by-step explanation:

Homophones are two or more words that sound alike but have different meanings.

The words that are used incorrectly is their which should have been there.

The other word used incorrectly is to instead of too.

You can notice that those words sound alike but they have different meanings.

Their is a pronoun that shows ownership.

There can be used to show direction or position which is the correct word that suits the sentence, "I didnt see you there".

To is a preposition that is used to show movement or direction.

Too means in addition (according to the context of the sentence).
