What is a homorphone?

A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and may be spelled differently.

Here are some examples:

* to, too, two

* there, their, they're

* hear, here

* write, right

* sea, see

Homophones can be tricky for language learners and native speakers alike, as they can easily be confused in writing or speech. It's important to pay attention to the context of the word to determine its meaning.
