Homophones
In linguistics, homophones are words that are spoken in the same manner and have the same sound. In English, there are a lot of homophones you can come across. They are referred to as homophones when two words have distinct meanings but have the same sound.
In a nutshell, homophones are words that may be used to express more than one meaning. These terms cannot be used interchangeably in a sentence because their meanings are distinct from one another. You should pay close attention to this since the explanation of words is not the same with one another. Yet the words have the same sounds. As a result, even though these words have the same sound patterns, their counterparts and meanings are distinct from one another. Many homophones are used in our everyday lives without us even noticing them. In comparison to other languages, English has a greater number of homophones because its pronunciation has evolved significantly through time, although its writing has changed relatively little.
