Is the verb fall and noun Fall a pair of homophones?

No, "fall" (verb) and "Fall" (noun) are not homophones.

* Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings.

While "fall" and "Fall" sound similar, they are spelled differently, and "Fall" is capitalized because it refers to a specific season.

* Fall (verb) - to descend rapidly; to drop.

* Fall (noun) - the season between summer and winter.

Therefore, they are not homophones, but rather heteronyms, which are words with the same spelling but different pronunciations and meanings.
