What is a Homograph? Examples, Definition and Uses

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What is a homograph? What are some examples of homographs? We explore these questions to empower your teaching and help you to brush up on your grammar.

Download FREE resources to teach children about 'Homograph'

Definition: What is a homograph?

Homographs are two or more words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and origins.

Some people suggest that homographs also have to sound different and have different pronunciations. The Oxford Guide to Practical Lexicography tries to mitigate this confusion by classifying different types of homographs. Essentially, if it is a word that is spelled the same as another, but with a different meaning, we class this as a homograph.

Twinkl Fact! Did you know that the word homograph to describe words with different meanings yet spelled the same originated as far back as 1873? Even further back, the Greeks used the word homographos to mean 'the same letters.'

Examples of homographs

How do you identify a homograph?

Remember, homographs are words that can sound different, but have the same spelling. Take a look at these 20 examples of homographs.

1. Park - a public play area or to bring a vehicle to a stop and leave it temporarily.

2. Bat - a type of sports equipment or an animal.

3. Bass - a type of fish or a genre for music.

4. Minute - small or a unit of time.

5. Crane - a bird or a machine used at construction sites.

6. Tear - to rip something or the liquid that flows from eyes when crying.

7. Bow - a weapon for shooting arrows or a formal way of greeting or showing respect.

8. Saw - a sharp tool used for cutting hard materials or past tense for the word "see".

9. Pen - an object which is used for writing or a small area in which animals are kept.

10. Lean - meaning thin or to rest against something.

11. Skip - a fanciful jump or missing out on something.

12. Close - to be near something or to shut.

13. May - you might do something or the month of May.

14. Type - he way you use a keyboard or a specific class of something.

15. Miss - a female title or overlooking.

16. Blue - feeling depressed or the color.

17. Train - a mode of transport or to coach somebody.

18. Fair - a place to enjoy some rides or the act of being reasonable.

19. Bag - secure something or a holdall.

20. Slip - a fielding position or a fall.

Take a look at this video that explores the origins of different types of words.

Take a look at these sentences that we can create with homographs:

Cotton candy was popular at the fair as the children were enjoying the rides.

It's only fair that we all adhere to the rules.

Can you see the word fair is the homograph here?

Let's try another couple.

The boys were so excited to take the train to see the baseball game.

I need to train to become more skilled at tennis.

It was the second time she had to miss gym class this week.

What is the different between Homograph, Homonym and Homophone?

Please do not let the next video automatically play at the end of the clip. Twinkl accepts no responsibility for the content of third party websites.

Homonym - Homographs that are pronounced the same have their own separate classification and are called 'homonyms'.

Examples of homonyms include the words " bark", " match" and " mat." These are words that can still have different meanings.

Homophone - Homophones are words that share the same pronunciation but have different spellings. The 'phone' part in homo phone means sound.

Examples of homophones include the words " write" and " right", " knight" and " night", and the words " see" and " sea." They sound the same but have very different meanings.

How do I teach homographs to my class?

Here at Twinkl, we have an array of different resources that you can use in your ELA lessons. We ensure that our activities, PowerPoints, games, and worksheets are created by teachers for teachers and other educators. Easy to download and ready-to-print in an instant, you can have an expertly crafted resource ready to use in moments.

Homonyms - Learn What They Are and How to Use Them

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One of the most confusing yet interesting topics in the English language is homonyms. Most students often get confused with homophones, homographs and homonyms. So, how would you explain to a student which pair of words are homonyms and which of them are homophones? Well, in this article, you will get to know all about homonyms. The following topics will be discussed in this article.

Table of Contents

What Are Homonyms? - Meaning and Definition

The word 'homonym' was derived from the Greek word "homonymos", which means having the same name. In simple terms, homonyms are those words that have the same spelling or pronunciation but completely different meanings and functions. Homonyms, therefore, can be said to include both homophones and homographs.

According to the Oxford Learner's Dictionary, a homonym is defined as "a word that is spelt like another word (or pronounced like it), but that has a different meaning." For example, "The children played with a bat." Here, 'bat' refers to the sports equipment used to play cricket. Whereas "The bats feast on the nectar of flowers." Here, 'bats' refers to a type of animal that generally comes out at night.

To help you understand better and to avoid any sort of confusion, you can go through the list of commonly used homonyms along with their meanings, the part of speech they belong to and sentence examples so that you can use them correctly in the right context. Take a look at them.

List of Homonyms with Their Functions, Meanings and Examples

Here is a list of homonyms for your reference.

It's important to be able to distinguish between homophones when writing. The results of using the wrong word in your writing can range from confusing to amusing. In the end, if you misuse too many homophones, your reader might just come to the conclusion that they can't trust your writing at all.

Writing accidents happen, and even the most seasoned writers make mistakes with homophones. And what's worse, it's likely that your spellchecker won't have caught the mistaken words. This post will answer the question what are homophones? And it will give you 5 tips for learning how to find and correct them before you accidentally embarrass yourself.

What Are Homophones?

English, with its millions of words adapted from languages across the globe and throughout history has an abundance of those confusing words called homophones.

Homo comes from the Greek word for "same," and phone comes from the Greek word for "sound." Therefore, homophone means "same sound," and we use it to describe two or more different words with the same sound but different meanings, words like "pair/pear," and "peak/pique/peek."

There are over 7700 homophones in the English language and counting! This means that chances are high that you will mix up a couple of words at some point in your writing.

Some of the more common examples of homophones include these words:

Of course, this list is by no means comprehensive. Who has time for a table with 7700+ entries? However, if you want more examples, you can check out this extensive list of homophones.

Also note, this post covers the broad category of homophones-two words that sound the same but have different meanings.

You may also be aware of the related linguistic phenomena of homonyms, heterographs, heteronyms, and homographs. This blog post is not going to get into the difference between these, but you might find this Venn diagram to be a big help:

Why Should You Care About Homophones?

What would happen if you followed a cookbook recipe filled with misused homophones? You could end up cooking a moose for dessert (instead of a mousse). While this might go over well in some rural parts of Canada, you don't want to show up at your neighbor's cocktail party with a cup of moose.

Misused homophones would make cooking a disaster. You would intend to cook one thing, but you'd cook something else entirely (and it wouldn't be any good!). Your recipe would be ruined.

While chances are you're not going to ruin a recipe because of homophones, making mistakes with homophones in your writing causes a similar effect.

You intend to write one thing, but you write something else entirely (and it's not that good!). Your message is ruined.

5 Tips for Finding and Correcting Homophones

If you tend to be a writer who confuses homophones, then it's a good idea to start working on ways to remember the differences between words that you commonly mix up. So let's talk about some methods to help you avoid your next homophonic disaster.

Tip 1: Picture the Difference

Visualization is a great technique to help your brain distinguish the difference between homophonic words.

Take two words that confuse you and create two distinct pictures of them in your mind. For example:

Picture the word "heel" in your mind and look at the heel of your shoe, notice the color of the heel, the shape-notice if there are any cracks or whether the material is smooth. Hold this image in your mind for a few seconds and then let it go.

Now picture the word "heal" in your mind, and imagine a doctor performing a lifesaving surgery. Imagine how that doctor feels when she learns that her surgery has successfully healed the patient.

(Public Domain) By allowing your mind to draw imagery in conjunction with the word, you are creating a space for that word in your memory. You can even take this a step further and draw an image on paper and label it with the correct homophone. Post it by your desk as a reminder until you learn the difference.

The more you practice picturing commonly confused homophones, the less likely your brain will mix them up in the future.

Tip 2-Use Mnemonic Devices

Some of the most common homophone mix-ups include confusion between their/they're/there, its/it's, and two/too/to. These are common mistakes because it's harder to picture these abstract words. It's definitely more difficult than, for example, picturing the difference between bored and board.

For these types of homophones, it's easier to user mnemonic devices to help you remember the difference.

Here's an example mnemonic device to learn the difference between "loose" and "lose":

Loose (meaning not securely attached) has two o's. Those o's kind of look like the holes in your belt buckle. If you secure your belt buckle too many holes out, then it will be too loose.

Lose (meaning to fail to win) only has one o. What happened to the extra "o"? Perhaps you lost it gambling in Vegas.

This may be a silly example, but you will probably never mix up the two words "lose" and "loose" again. Try to come up with fun devices like this for any homophones that confuse you.

Check out this mnemonic device for "to/too/two" and here's a way to remember "their/they're/there."

Tip 3 - Use the Find Function

If you know you are guilty of mixing up certain words over and over again, this tip will work great for you.

For example, if you consistently mistake "to" and "too," use the find function on your word processor.

Before you submit your writing. Do a "find all" to highlight all instances of "too" in your text. Go through each instance and make sure it is used correctly.

Then do the same with "to." When you've highlighted the word in question, you'll find it much easier to evaluate whether it's the correct usage or not.

Tip 4 - Context is Key

Luckily you don't write homophones in a vacuum. It would be infinitely more difficult to tell the difference between "meet" and "meat," for example, without the context of a sentence and paragraph.

So to avoid misusing homophones, it is helpful to learn the context of the words that give you the most trouble. Learning the word's part of speech, definition, and reading it in context will make it next to impossible to misuse it.

If you remember that "meat" is a noun (a thing), it will be much harder to confuse it with "meet" the verb (an action).

If you accidentally write the sentence, "Let's cook meet tonight," it will be easier to recognize the mistake if you understand that "meet" is a verb so it's impossible to cook it.

Tip 5 - Have Someone Edit Your Work

After all is said and done, you might find that despite your best efforts a few homophonic mistakes have slipped into your work. This is when it's incredibly helpful to have someone else review your writing.

A second set of eyes will be more likely to catch any homophone errors that you have made during the course of writing. This other person could be a professional editor or a friend or family member who is willing to read your work for you.

So there you have it, five ways to avoid the embarrassment of using the wrong homophone in your writing. If you need more help, check out this homophone quiz. And leave a comment about what homophones tend to trip you up in your writing.

Good luck!

Definition: What is a homograph?

Homographs are two or more words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and origins.

Some people suggest that homographs also have to sound different and have different pronunciations. The Oxford Guide to Practical Lexicography tries to mitigate this confusion by classifying different types of homographs. Essentially, if it is a word that is spelled the same as another, but with a different meaning, we class this as a homograph.

Twinkl Fact! Did you know that the word homograph to describe words with different meanings yet spelled the same originated as far back as 1873? Even further back, the Greeks used the word homographos to mean 'the same letters.'

Examples of homographs

How do you identify a homograph?

Remember, homographs are words that can sound different, but have the same spelling. Take a look at these 20 examples of homographs.

1. Park - a public play area or to bring a vehicle to a stop and leave it temporarily.

2. Bat - a type of sports equipment or an animal.

3. Bass - a type of fish or a genre for music.

4. Minute - small or a unit of time.

5. Crane - a bird or a machine used at construction sites.

6. Tear - to rip something or the liquid that flows from eyes when crying.

7. Bow - a weapon for shooting arrows or a formal way of greeting or showing respect.

8. Saw - a sharp tool used for cutting hard materials or past tense for the word "see".

9. Pen - an object which is used for writing or a small area in which animals are kept.

10. Lean - meaning thin or to rest against something.

11. Skip - a fanciful jump or missing out on something.

12. Close - to be near something or to shut.

13. May - you might do something or the month of May.

17. Train - a mode of transport or to coach somebody.

18. Fair - a place to enjoy some rides or the act of being reasonable.

19. Bag - secure something or a holdall.

20. Slip - a fielding position or a fall.

Take a look at this video that explores the origins of different types of words.

Take a look at these sentences that we can create with homographs:

Cotton candy was popular at the fair as the children were enjoying the rides.

It's only fair that we all adhere to the rules.

Can you see the word fair is the homograph here?

Let's try another couple.

Homonym - Homographs that are pronounced the same have their own separate classification and are called 'homonyms'.

Examples of homonyms include the words " bark", " match" and " mat." These are words that can still have different meanings.

Homophone - Homophones are words that share the same pronunciation but have different spellings. The 'phone' part in homo phone means sound.

Examples of homophones include the words " write" and " right", " knight" and " night", and the words " see" and " sea." They sound the same but have very different meanings.
