Example sentences for: homophones
How can you use “homophones” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Homophones can be pure poison in a speech.
The same thing, essentially, that makes homophones horrendous no-nos in speeches.
In my English, as in that of most Americans, bawd/bored/board, sword/sawed/ soared , and or/oar/awe/ore are not homophones; I pronounce bawd/sawed differently from board and or/oar/ore differently from awe .
Obviously homophones usually need to be written in order to make sense, but let's experiment with the following anyway:
homophones: creak/creek; plain/ plane, bow/bough, tear/tare, tear/tier, roe/row, allowed/aloud , etc.; triplets: bawd/bored/board, sword/sawed/soared, cite/sight/sight ; quadruplets: write/right/rite/wright, or/oar/awe/ore --a quintuplet if you allow Aw as in US expression Aw gee!
