Example sentences for: homophone

How can you use “homophone” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

PRONOUNCE SPELL MEAN heteronym different same different homograph homonym same same different homophone same different different
I eschew the term homonym because it suffers from an inherent ambiguity: a homograph is, to lexicographers, at least, a word that is spelled the same as another but has a different etymology ( bear 1 animal/ bear 2 carry; bore 1 carried/ bore 2 drill/ bore 3 tire/ bore 4 tide wave); a homophone is a word that sounds exactly like another but is spelled differently ( bear/bare; bier/beer; bore/boar ).
When two words sound the same but are spelled differently, we have a homophone.
