    Homophones, Homographs and Homonyms

    A homograph is a word that has the same spelling as another word but has a different
    sound and a different meaning:
    lead (to go in front of)/lead (a metal)
    wind (to follow a course that is not straight)/wind (a gust of air)
    bass (low, deep sound)/bass (a type of fish)

    A homophone is a word that has the same sound as another word but is spelled
    differently and has a different meaning:
    to/two/too
    there/their/they're
    pray/prey
    The ending –graph means drawn or written, so a homograph has the same spelling.
    The –phone ending means sound or voice, so a homophone has the same
    pronunciation. A word that is spelled like another but has a different sound and
    meaning (homograph); a word that sounds like another but has a different spelling and
    meaning (homophone)
