Example sentences for: homophones
How can you use “homophones” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
If meaning is to emerge without ambiguity from a language like English, largely uninflected and having many homonyms and homophones, writers must be able to recognize not just the Parts of Speech but also those peripatetic words that wander from one category to another.
The same thing, essentially, that makes homophones horrendous no-nos in speeches.
Homophones can be pure poison in a speech.
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!
Other substitutions do not qualify as either homonyms or homophones, but they are interesting nonetheless.
