List of Homophones with Meanings A to Z Pdf

List of Homophones with Meanings A to Z! Homophones are words that are pronounced in the same way as other words but have different meanings, even if they are spelt differently. Here is a list of homophones from A to Z with their corresponding meanings.

Affect and effect are two commonly confused words. Affect is a verb meaning ‘to influence’ or ‘to produce a change’, as in ‘the cold weather affected my plans for the weekend’. Effect, on the other hand, is usually a noun meaning ‘result’ or ‘consequence’, as in ‘the effect of the cold weather was that I had to stay indoors’.

Bare and bear have very different meanings although they are pronounced in the same way.
