What are homophones and homographs ?

Give examples of both

Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well...!!

Homographs are spelled the same but differ in meaning or pronunciation. Homonyms can be either or even both. To help remember, think of the etymology: homophones have the same sound (the Greek phonos), homographs have the same spelling (Greek graphein), and homonym comes from the Greek word meaning name (onyma).

Examples of Homonyms:-

1) read - past tense of the verb to read

red - color

2) right- correct

write- scribble

Example of Homograph:-

bark (the sound a dog makes) and bark (the covering of a tree)

Hope this helps you!

All the best:)

Dear aspirant hope you are doing well...

Homographs are words that have the same spelling but different meanings, whether they’re pronounced the same or not. Bass (the fish, rhymes with class ) and bass (the instrument, rhymes with ace ) are homographs. But so are bark (the sound a dog makes) and bark (the covering of a tree).

A homonym is a word that is said or spelled the same way as another word but has a different meaning . "Write” and “right” is a good example of a pair of homonyms.

Hope it's helpful..

Thank you
