Homophones are words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings. To identify homophones, you can listen for words that have the same pronunciation but may have different spellings and definitions. For example, "they're," "their," and "there" are all homophones because they sound alike but have different meanings and spellings. To determine if a word is a homophone, you can also consult a dictionary or use online resources that list homophones for reference.
