Homophone are words of the same language that are pronounced alike even of they differ in spelling, meaning, or origin, such as " pair", and " pear". Homophones may also bi spelled alike, as in " bear" ( the animal) and " bear" ( to carry). Other common homophones are write and right, meet and meat, peace and piece. You have to listen to the context to know which word someone means if they’re spoken aloud. If they say they like your jeans (genes?), they’re probably talking about your pants and not your height and eye color — but you’d.
