Homonym/ Homophone/ Homograph
Definition:
homograph
Use
the noun homograph to talk about two words that are spelled the same but
have different meanings and are pronounced differently — like "sow,"
meaning female pig, and "sow," to plant seeds.
example:
·
"Advocate"
can be pronounced with a long "a" sound and mean “to speak or write
in support of”
- "Advocate" can also be pronounced with a short "a" sound and refer to a person who supports or pleads the cause of another.
homonym
A homonym is a word that is said or spelled the
same way as another word but has a different meaning. "Write” and “right”
is a good example of a pair of homonyms.
example
:
Than (a
comparison) and then (shows time)
There (a
place) and Their (belongs to them) and They're (they are)
To (a
preposition) and Too (an adverb) and Two (a number)
Your
(possessive pronoun) and You're (you are)
homophone
A
homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a
different meaning and/or spelling. “Flower” and “flour” are homophones
because they are pronounced the same but you certainly can’t bake a cake using
daffodils.
example :
Sole owner am I of
this sorry soul…
pour out corruption’s slag from every pore—
whole slates scrape clean! they leave no gaping hole.
Rôle that I’ve played, loose grip! while back I roll,
or dodge each wave, or with firm grip on oar
bore through this sea, snout down, just like the boar
