Fun Homophones
Fun homophones is a collection of words that sound the same but have different meanings. Everyone uses them. Lets try and make them fun.
An example of a homophone is:
hi...I said hi to you.
high...The clouds are high in the sky.
Some people call them homonym, and you can call them what you want. No matter what they are called we will have fun with them. Presenting the most common homophones is the object of this page. We want to include sentences to help explain the words. The homophones that have the same spelling ( like "bear" animal, "bear" fact ) will not be included here. ( not real homophones )
Fun homophones helps us to understand our language better. Fun homophones will help kids find which word they should use in a sentence. Parents can use this resource to help with their childs homework. OK, here we go.
