✅ So it's especially important when you're writing. When you're speaking it doesn't matter so much because they sound exactly the same but as soon as you write it down that's where you'll run into trouble. Especially if you are writing an exam or you're writing an important email or an essay that you need to submit

✅ These pairs of words or groups of words have different meanings and often they are completely different types of words. One could be a noun, and the other an adjectives or adverb. So usually the context will help you to understand which word is the right one to use but you need to remember the spelling which is the tricky part.

✅ So then what are homonyms? This refers to words that sound exactly the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings and uses. Words like bare and bear, raw and roar.
