Homonyms and homophones are one of two or more words that have the same sound and often the same spelling but differ in meaning (i.e. to, too, two). Here are two quizzes testing your knowledge of homophones:

This homonym list provides a homonym worksheet for each homonym pair (or in some cases list of three) with definitions and example sentences. A homonym is one of two or more words that have the same sound and often the same spelling but differ in meaning, such as too (also) and two (the number).

I think is is good those who are learning english as second languages.But request If you are update new exercises everyday it will be good for everyonre
Better still if it were done every ten minutes.
Please Respond……on your list of homonyms…..S-Z……you list “VARY”…and….”VERY”….as having the same sound. The dictionary disagrees.
I’m a 7th grade teacher.My understanding of homophones are words that have exactly the same spelling but differ in meaning.eg BARK- The dog will bark at the intruder. OR That tree’s bark has been stripped away.
I understand homophones to be words that have different spellings and different meanings eg. WAIT WEIGHT. Please help with the confusion as you have called the latter both homophones and homonyms in your worksheets. Thank You.
i have understood a bit but if u clear it a bit nicely may be it will get more clear to every one.
thankyou.
I need a list of homonyms that are spelled the same and are pronounced the same. If you could add that I would appreciate it greatly.
thank you
i need some homonyms that have the same spelling but differ in meaning!!!!…pls
Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and different meanings. For example: pear/pair/pare; aisle/isle; bare/bear; allowed/aloud. Homonyms are words that sound the same, have the same spelling but have different meanings. For example: bank (like river bank) and bank (where $ is kept); bark (like the covering on a tree) and bark (the sound a dog makes). I checked in our grammar book because I was confused – homophones and homonyms are not the same!
