There is a large number of homophones, that is, words that sound the same but their meanings are different, therefore, their way of writing is also different. But problems can arise when writing them, and for this it is necessary to improve our spelling. The fact of writing correctly also implies understanding the meaning of the words we use to express ourselves.
Homophones can confuse us such as: I was going and IVA, you see and you see or there is and ay. But here we are going to clarify the difference between as, has and haz so that you do not doubt its correct spelling and know the meaning of each of these homophone words.

Instructions
- To begin, you will find the word “as” in the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy defined as a noun, it gives us several definitions. Some stand out, such as: the number one card of each suit in the Spanish deck (or the letter A in the French deck), a person who stands out in an exercise or profession.
- For the first definition we can give the following example: “I was very lucky to receive the ace of spade in the last hand of the trick.” The ace changes its value depending on the card game you play. In the trick, for example, Spanish cards are used. The highest card value is held by the ace of spade, “the male”, followed by the ace of club, “the female”. The remaining aces, the gold and the cup, are not as valuable.
- It is important to note that the plural of as is aces.
- For the second definition it is possible to give this example: “Messi is an ace playing soccer.”
- Remember that this word is written without “h” and with “s”.
- It is already clear what “as” means, so we continue with the word “has”. This is the conjugation of the verb “to have” which corresponds to the second person singular of the Indicative Mood (tú/vos has ) with which compound tenses of conjugation are formed, it is used as an auxiliary to form the Past Perfect Compound of the Mood Indicative. Some examples may be: “You have smoked because you have the smell of cigarettes on your clothes.” Have you ever been to Mexico? “As a child you have been a very naughty child.”
- “Has” also denotes a need or an obligation equivalent to ” have to” by adding an infinitive verb. Some examples might be: “You have to do your homework or you won’t go out to play”, which is the same as saying: “You have to do your homework or you won’t go out to play”. Another example might be: “You have to work harder to keep your job” which means “You have to work harder to keep your job”.
- You must remember that ” has” in the sense that we have been talking about, must be written with “h” and with “s”.
- Finally, we must define and clarify the meaning of the word “beam”. She can be used as a verb or as a noun. As a verb it is the conjugation of the verb “to do” in the imperative mode of the pronoun you. For example: “Do what I tell you, so you will learn to drive.” “Do what your father tells you otherwise he will be angry.”
- Instead, as a noun it can mean several things.
- One of its meanings is a set of light rays or particles that have the same origin and propagate without dispersion. For example: “A beam of light spreads through the clouds.”
- If you have the opportunity to see a natural beam of the sun, you will see that it is very beautiful and enjoying it is an excellent idea.
- Another meaning of this word is that of face, face or face, since these are synonymous with “beam”. For example: “That woman’s beam is very pretty.”
- In addition, it must be clarified that “bundle” can refer to a set of herbs, firewood, flax or other similar things. For example: “When I went camping, I had to collect a bundle of wood to make a fire.” “I must gather a bundle of herbs for my grandmother since she wants to make a tea with it to improve her sore throat.”
- It is possible that the doubt arises in you about what the plural of the noun “do” is like. The correct way is “do”. This is due to a general spelling rule: words ending in “z” will form their plural by adding “–es” at the end and substituting the letter “z” for the letter “c”. Thus, for beam (singular), its plural is beams. The same happens with the word fish and fish, quail and quail.
