Hear Vs Listen
Hear is a verb that means to receive or become aware of a sound using
your ears, so you don't have to make an effort in order to just hear something.
For example:-
She heard a noise outside.
Listen is a verb that means to give attention to someone or something in
order to hear them, so you make an make an effort in order to hear something
properly.
For example:-
She listened to the noise and realized it was only a cat.
In some circumstances we use hear when we listen to someone or
something attentively or officially.
For example:-

speech on the radio this morning.

He's Vs His
He's is the short form of 'he is' or
'he has'.
For example: “Don’t be scared - he's very friendly." (He is very friendly)
“He’s a very good house.” (He has a very good house)
His is a possessive pronoun, it is
used to show something belonging to or connected with a man, boy or male animal
that has just been mentioned.
For example: “Mayank just phoned to say he'd left his coat behind. Do you know
if this is his?"
Holiday Vs Weekend
A holiday (noun), the time when someone does
not go to work or school but is free to do what they want, such as travel or
relax.
For example: "Where are you going on holiday this year? Somewhere nice I
hope."
The weekend (noun) - the time
