Spell Bee Word: Eye


What does eye mean?

Word: Eye

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Eye means the part of your face that you see with. Most people have two eyes.

Sounds like: I (The word you use for yourself, as in I am happy.)

How do you spell eye?

Syllables: eye

Tricky part: Eye sounds exactly like the letter I, yet there is no i anywhere in it. Children who write what they hear often put an i in.

  1. keep an eye on: To watch someone or something carefully. Example: "Please keep an eye on your little brother at the park."

Eye in a sentence

Example 1: I have a speck of dust in my eye.

Example 2: Close one eye and look through the paper tube.

Example 3: Dadi blinks when the sun is in her eyes.

Fun Fact

The coloured ring in your eye is called the iris, and the small black dot in its middle is the pupil.
