English same sound words Homophones

ENGLISH GRAMMAR

Four Way HomoPhones

First Variation	Second Variation	Third Variation	Forth Variation	Notes
Right	Write	Wright	Rite	Not completely sure that the Wright is a word. It's in dictionary.com though as a noun so it here it is.

Three Way Homophones

First Variation	Second Variation	Third Variation	Notes
Accent	Ascent	Assent
Are	Hour	Our	I don't have a problem with this one some people seem to confuse "Are" and "Our". I have seen these two words confused on a sign in a shop window which read "Try are lovely cakes".
Aye (also ay)	Eye	I
Buy	By	Bye
Cite	Sight	Site
Ewe (female sheep)	You	Yew
For	Fore	Four
Heard	Herd	Hurd	Not sure hurd counts as it is the name of an operating system kernel.
There	Their	They're	Not sure this counts as they're is a contraction of they are but it is listed at dictionary.com.
To	Too	Two	How ironic that there are three words that sound like two.
Weather	Wether	Whether	The last one is a common mis-spelling of the first and almost certainly not what the author meant to write unless they are talking about castrated rams.

Two Way Homophones

First Variation	Second Variation	Notes
Ad	Add	I don't think this really counts as ad is an abbreviation for advertisement.
Adherence	Adherents
Aid	Aide
Ail	Ale
Allowed	Aloud
All	Awl (a sharp pointed tool)
Allot	A Lot (or Alot)	This one really shouldn't be in the list but the two words "A Lot" are indistinguishable from "Allot" and the "Alot" mistake is so common I couldn't leave it out. If you need a way of remembering that "a lot" is two words just ask for "alittle" help.
Allar	Alter
Ante-	Anti-	While prefixes aren't words in their own right these two, which have very different meaning, can easily be confused. Ante- means before, Anti- means against.
Antecedence	Antecedents
Arc	Ark
Assistance	Assistants
Ate	Eight
Attendance	Attendants
Bail	Bale
Bare	Bear
Base	Bass
Bases	Basis
Be	Bee
Beat	Beet
Berry	Bury
Berth	Birth
Billed	Build
Blew	Blue
Bloc	Block
Bored	Board
Bolder	Boulder
Born	Borne
Boy	Buoy
Brake	Break
Bread	Bred
Bridal	Bridle
Broach	Brooch
Bouillon	Bullion
Cache	Cash
Call	Cool	I know that strictly speaking these two sounds different but the way I say them they sound identical. This has caused much amusement with dictation software.
Callous	Callus
Canvas	Canvass
Cede	Seed
Ceiling	Sealing
Cell	Sell
Cellar	Seller
Cereal	Serial
Cession	Session
Chews	Choose
Chord	Cord
Chute	Shoot
Click	Clique	This is one of the tricky ones as clique has two forms of pronunciation. The first sounds nothing like click more like "cleek" the second sounds just like click. Personally I detest the second and wish it would be abandond but you can't have everything.
Creak	Creek
Flew	Flu
Hi	High
Knight	Night	I will never understand why the K is silent.
Knot	Not
Know	No
Knows	Nose
Made	Maid
Missed	Mist	These two aren't always pronounced identically but they are certainly very similar.
One	Won
Oar	Or
Ode	Owed	These can often sound very similar but not always. Some people pronounce the w in owed more than others.
Paw	Pour
Plain	Plane
Pray	Prey
Read	Reed
Review	Revue
Scent	Sent	Could possibly also have cent making this a three way homophone but I don't think it can be classed as a word.
Sea	See
Sew	So
Shore	Sure	This one is somewhat accent dependent. With some accents these two are identical with others the word sure almost acquires an a on the end.
Straight	Strait	Imagine the confusion a straight strait could cause.
Tare	Tear
Threw	Through
Toe	Tow
Told	Tolled
Wait	Weight
Waist	Waste
Way	Weigh
