What is a homonym?

A homonym is a word that is spelled and pronounced the same as another word, but has a different meaning.

Here are some examples:

* Bear (to carry something) and bear (a large animal)

* Right (correct) and right (the opposite of left)

* See (to observe with your eyes) and sea (a large body of saltwater)

* To (towards) and too (also) and two (the number 2)

Homonyms can cause confusion in writing and speech, so it's important to choose the right word based on the context.
