Homophones are words that have same sound , thanks to that all-important suffix “-phone,” which means sound but are spelled differently.
For example:
1. “plate” and “plait.”
2. their and there.
3. too and two.
Homohyms are words that have same spelling and same pronounciation but have different meaning.
For example,
1. left (opposite of right) and left (departed from)
2.scale(used to weigh things) and scale (climb)
3.fair( as in price) and fair( as in equal)
