Homophones are those tricky words that are pronounced the same as one another but differ in spelling or meaning. They can cause a lot of comprehension problems when people choose the wrong word. These errors can also be funny as long as you’re not the one making them! It’s very easy to make such errors because lots of English words sound or look alike. It’s not just learners of English who make mistakes when it comes to homophones; native speakers are not immune to the confusion surrounding them either.
