An English learner should also master the difference between homophone, homonym, and homograph. Thus, these five sets of words conclude our discussion in homophones. In this NOUN, which means a period of 60 minutes, the /h/ sound is silent, so it pronounced the same as ‘our’ – the POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE of the pronoun ‘we’. Often, beginners pronounce ‘hour’ as /haƱә(r)/. ‘Pair’ means a set of two things, while ‘pear’ is the name of a fruit. Homophones are words pronounced alike but different in meaning or derivation or spelling. The word ‘pair’ is not pronounced as /pei(r)/ the correct way to pronounce it is /peә(r)/, which is the same as pronouncing ‘pear’. ‘Right’ is an ADJECTIVE which is a synonym to ‘correct’, or it can also mean the opposite of ‘left’. ‘Write’ is a VERB meaning-making words/ putting words on a paper/ something else to express ideas. This word should be pronounced the same as ‘right’ (not /w ra I t/) as some learners do. ‘Knight’ is a NOUN meaning a man given a special honor (or rank) by a king or queen, while ‘night’ (also a NOUN) means the time when it is dark, and people usually sleep at this period.Īnother silent consonant is the /w/ in the word ‘write’. the word ‘knight’ also has the silent ‘k’ in the beginning, so it pronounced the same as ‘night’. The consonant ‘k’ is often not pronounced if it is put at the beginning of a word, for example: know, knowledge, knit, etc. Both are NOUNS, but they have different meanings: ‘son’ means a male child, while ‘sun’ is a star in the center of our solar system.Įnglish is known for its silent consonant. In fact, the way you pronounce it is the same as ‘sun’. The list is as follows:Ī lot of learners mistakenly pronounce ‘son’ as /son/. In this article, we are discussing five more homophone sets that are sometimes mispronounced by a few learners. In case you forget what a homophone is, it is a set of two or more words that have the same pronunciation but have different meanings and spelling such as ‘to’, ‘two’, and ‘too’.
