Hi, how to recognize は ?

Hi, how can I make the difference between は (ha) and は (wa)?

Exemple : In おじいさん、 はよう もどって きなされ。

は is "wa", is there a way to make the distinction while reading or does it depends on the context?

When being used as a particle, you read it differently. You read it as wa.

    Yes , at that time はis like が, a conjunction that used for declaring the meaning of the noun which placed before it
