Homonyms are words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings. The context determines which homonym is appropriate. Examples of homonyms are herd (a group of cows) and heard (past tense of hear); son (male child) and sun (star that is the source of heat and light for the earth); right (direction) and write (to form letters on paper). Completing these exercises will help you know which homonym to use when writing. You will also better understand what you read when you know the correct meaning of any homonym you may encounter.
