Hey mate❤❤

☆A homophone can be defined as a word that, when pronounced, seems similar to another word, but has a different spelling and meaning.

☆For example, the words “bear” and “bare” are similar in pronunciation, but are different in spelling as well as in meaning.

☆ Sometimes the words may have the same spelling, such as “rose,” the past tense of rise, and “rose,” the flower.

☆ Mostly, however, they are spelled differently, such as:

●carrot

●caret

●carat

In literature, homophones are used extensively in poetry and prose to make rhythmic effects, and to put emphasis on something. They are also used to create a multiplicity of meanings in a written piece.

TYPES :

1.Homograph

2.Homonym

3.Heterograph

4.Oronym

5.Pseudo-homophone

hope it helps
