20 Examples of Sentences with Homophones

Homophones words

The Homophones words are those that sound the same way but are written differently. For example: vote / throw, drink / glass, come / goods.

Homophony exists because there is a group of graphemes in Spanish whose pronunciation varies regionally, such that they are pronounced almost the same way.

Specifically, this happens with the digraph “elle” (ll), which in River Plate Spanish is pronounced as a “y” or as a “sh”; with the letter “ge” (g), which has a sound very similar to the letter “jota” (j), with the letter “be long” (b), which may sound similar to “go short” (v); and with the letters "ese" (s), "ce" (c) and "zeta" (z), which are often pronounced almost identically. Another typical cause of homophony is the presence of a letter "hache" (h) which, as is known, has no sound in itself.

Video explanation

We made a video to explain it to you:

The Homophones words constitute one of the two cases of homonymy; the other is that of the homograph words, that is, those that in addition to being pronounced the same are written exactly the same (as

wine to "come" and wine of “alcoholic beverage”).

The larger the community of speakers of a language, the greater the probability that cases of homophony will arise. In any case, the context generally ensures that homophony is resolved satisfactorily and that meaning misunderstandings do not occur. Homophony has been exploited as a literary device by some authors.
