Homophones ....
..... are words which sound exactly the same but have different meaning and spelling. Getting to know them could help you with your pronuntiation and your listening skills.
I am going to give you two sentences, an easy one -to build up your confidence- and a difficult one -to challenge you- so that you tell me the homophones, which I give you just with the phonetic transcription:
Your /sΛn/ was playing in the /sΛn/.
The /stɔ:k/ ate the /stɔ:k/ of the cherry.
...and now ... could you think of more examples using homophones in the same sentence??? Please share your examples in the comment box.

I hope other students get the spirit and leave more homophones on the comment box.

There we go! Before my pop /bænd/ was /bænd/ from that festival, /wɜː/ we first met /fɔː/ years before, I used /tuː/ /raɪt/ on /sʌm//raɪt/ angles, and on /streɪt/ angles /tuː/, when we /tuː/ /wɜː/ crossing the /streɪt/, just as a pastime, because I can't barely /siː/ the /siː/ when we /seɪl/ in /aʊə/ boat -now on /seɪl/ /fɔː/ a pretty /sʌm/-, for more than one /aʊə/. So, good /baɪ/.
/baɪ/ Pascual ;)
