What is a homophone? A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. A homophone may also differ in spelling. The two words may be spelled the same or different.

Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms.

Homophones that are spelled differently are also called heterographs.

Homophone examples:

  • Four –  For

  • Eight – Ate
