    Homophones words that sound the same


    Homophones are words that sound the same but have a different meaning and
    spelling. For example:
    My son is a doctor
    The sun is really hot today.
    The common homophones on this page are grouped according to the sound that is
    spelled differently. Words marked UK only sound similar in British English. If words
    are in dark type (e.g. grate great) they are common causes of mistakes for learners.
