What are homographs?

  • Homograph = Homo (same) + graph (spelling)
  • Homographs are words with the same spellings, but different meanings.
  • They may or may not have the same pronunciation.
  • Here, ‘watch’ (to see) and ‘watch’ (instrument/accessory) are pronounced the same, but have different meanings.
  • Another example is: ‘minute’ (unit of time) and ‘minute’ (very small/tiny).  
  • Here, both the homographs have the same spellings but mean different things and are pronounced differently.

What are homophones?

  • Homophone = Homo (same) + phone (sound)
  • Homophones have the same pronunciation, but different spellings and meanings, like ‘to’, ‘two’, and ‘too’.
  • Homophones are different from homographs.
