Introduction
Homonyms are a large group of multiple-meaning words. They have the same sound and often the same spelling but different meanings. The term “homonym” comes from the Greek words “homos” (same) and “onuma” (name). This large group of homonyms includes words like lie (not tell the truth) and lie (recline or rest) and also words like see (use your eyes) and sea (the ocean).
A homophone is a type of homonym. Homophones sound alike but have different meanings and different spellings, like see and sea. The term “homophone” comes from the Greek words “homos” (same) and “phone” (sound). There are hundreds of homophones. This book lists those that may help English as a second language learners (ESL) the most in their study of the English language. Furthermore, this book will benefit anyone who wants to improve his or her English. Some words are not pronounced exactly the same way but are very similar.
