Thank you, Emma! Here are my examples. "Our shop will be closing in an hour." " Our airplane's engine failure requires an extra hour for us to arrive at the destination🛬" "They charged us by the hour for our stay" I appreciate it😊

I like giving the example of "an hour and a half" to show how English pronunciation can be tricky 😉
Leading "h" of hour is mute.
Leading "h" of half is not but its "l" is! 🤯

I dunno why the younger generation in India has changed the pronunciation of all these words and the funny thing is, its wrong but our parents used to pronounce it correctly but qe think its uncool.. same for hour, power, towel, europe, flower,

I would add something important : do not confuse a homophone and a gay calling you. My pleasure 😘
