What are
Homophones?
Name:__________________________________
Homophones are easy to remember if you think of your Greek roots.
Homo means “same.” Phone means “sound.” So homophones are literally two
words whose names have the same sound. One example of this are the words hare and
hair. If you hear them out loud without seeing them written down, you don’t know if you
are talking about a hare (rabbit), or a hair (growing on your head). Context helps you know
which one is meant, as well.
Choose the correct homophone to complete each sentence.

What are
Homophones?
Homophones are easy to remember if you think of your Greek roots.
Homo means “same.” Phone means “sound.” So homophones are literally two
words whose names have the same sound. One example of this are the words hare and
hair. If you hear them out loud without seeing them written down, you don’t know if you
are talking about a hare (rabbit), or a hair (growing on your head). Context helps you know
which one is meant, as well.
Choose the correct homophone to complete each sentence.
