HOMOPHONES

 A word that has the same sound as another word but a different meaning, and often a different spelling, is a homophone. We must be careful not to confuse them in our writing. We can all fall easily into the trap of misspelling these words. Some examples:

to - two - too

reign - rein - rain

meet - meat

fare - fair

mail - male

sea - see

knight - night - nite

flower - flour

hear - here

pair - pare

right - write

hour - our

for - four

cell - sell

son - sun

won - one

aunt - ant
