Hello!

Homonyms - Is one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings. This usually happens as a result of the two words having different origins. The state of being a homonym is called homonymy.

Examples 1) spruce - tree, up 2) fair - price, color, event

Homophones - Is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. The words may be spelled such as rose ( flower) and rose (past tense of rise) or differently such as to, two and too.

All homonyms are homophones because they sound the same. But not all homophones are homonyms. Homophones with different spellings are not homonyms.

Examples 1) addition for math, edition for book. 2) pick a flower, bake with flour.

Examples - same spelling with different meaning 1) close - nearby, to shut 2) bow - to bend down, ribbon

ALL THE BEST. Hope the answer was helpful.
