Homophones are words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings.
Homophones are words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings. To identify homophones, you can rely on your knowledge of how words sound or check a dictionary for words that have the same pronunciation but different spellings and meanings. Some examples of homophones are "hear" and "here," "flower" and "flour," and "write" and "right." Remember to pay attention to the context in which homophones are used to understand their intended meaning.
