what are homophones and homographs ?give examples of each
Hello
Homophones are words that sound the same but are different.Homophones may or may not have the same spelling. Here are some examples:
to/two/too
there/their/they're
pray/prey
Homographs are words that are spelled the same but are different.
Some examples are close ("to shut") and close ("nearby"); and bass ("deep") and bass ("the fish"). Homographs are confusing at first glance, but once you read them in the context of a sentence or hear them spoken aloud, you'll easily figure out which word is intended.
hope this information helps you
Best regards
