Witches Thee Homophone?

Before you know which is the homophone, you have to know what homophones are. Homophones are two or more words that are spelled differently but are pronounced the same. For example:
buy, by, bye (bai)
to, too, two (tu)  
their, there, they're (zeir)


The following sentences don’t make sense [a] with the words that are in them. See if you can write the sentences with their homonyms to make understandable [b] sentences. For example: 
Thee none preys fore rain. = The nun prays for rain.

1) Weight write hear pleas.
2) Their knot uh pear.
3) Sun meat you're ant.
4) Fined you’re weigh threw thyme.
5) Your uh site four soar ayes.
6) Wheel where uh flour en hour hare.
7) Uh wholly night Sikhs piece.
8) Aisle bee they're fore ate daze two.
