- BThe words 'their', 'there', and 'they're' are homophones in many dialects of English, despite having different grammatical functions and spellings.
- CThe term 'homograph' refers to words that sound the same but are spelled differently, while 'homophone' refers to words spelled the same but sounding different.
- DIn English, homophones are always verbs in the past tense that have the same sound as nouns referring to agricultural tools.
- EThe pair 'hear' and 'here' is an example of heteronyms, meaning they are spelled the same but pronounced differently depending on the context.
