Homonyms, Homophones and Homograph

L.I: To investigate Homophones

Homophones sound the same, spelt different and mean different. Homonyms sound the same, spelt the same but has different meanings. Homographs sound different, same spelling but different meanings.

Example: Eye went to the library to read a book called bright but the library was close.

Eye is a homophone because it has a different spelling and meaning but it sounds the same.  Bright is a homonym because its sound and spelt the same but it has a different meaning.  Close is a homograph because its spelt the same but it has a different meaning and pronunciation.

Make sure to look for these errors, so sentences can make sense and words doesn't have the wrong meaning.
