Respuesta :

Words that have different meanings depending on how they sound

Answer:

words that have the same sound but different spellings and meaning

Explanation:

"Homophones" are words that are pronounced in the same manner, yet are spelled differently. They also have different meanings. For example, the word "see" and "sea" are spelled differently. However, they are pronounced in the same way. "See" refers to the act of discerning something visually while "sea" refers to the body of salt water.

Here are other examples of homonyms:

  • bye - buy
  • hair - hare
  • four - for
  • know - no
  • made - maid
