Two roads diverged in a wood and I .. I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Homophones

We all love speaking English, don't we? However so, the tricky things are words with the same sound, but they are actually written differently. They are known as 'Homophones'.


Well, it's not all bad. Sometimes, the similar sounds make you remember how could you pronounce the other same sound word!

Here are some pairings to enjoy:


  1. bare-bear 
  2. where-wear 
  3. there-their-they're  
  4. rite-right 
  5. hare-hair 
  6. throne-thrown 
  7. raise-raze 
  8. flour-flower 
  9. pair-pear 
  10. ate-eight 
  11. size-sighs 
  12. wait-weight 
  13. roam-Rome 
  14. wood-would 
  15. site-sight 
  16. feat-feet 
  17. weight-wait 
  18. beet-beat
