BACK TO WORKSHEETS
Homophones are words which sound the same, but have different meanings. They often have different spellings too.
An example would be:
| been ("I have been to the market.") | bean ("I ate a green bean.") |

Why does it matter?
Although homophones sound the same, the way you spell them shows what you really mean. If you use the wrong one in your writing, your reader could get confused and misunderstand you.
