What is the Definition homophones?

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

Example:

* "See" and "Sea" sound the same but have different meanings (see = to perceive with your eyes, sea = a large body of saltwater).

Here are some other examples of homophones:

* "Hear" and "Here"

* "Pair" and "Pear"

* "To", "Too", and "Two"

* "There", "Their", and "They're"

* "Write" and "Right"

Homophones can sometimes be confusing, especially when writing, so it's important to pay attention to the context of the sentence to determine the correct spelling.
