Which words are homophones?

Imagen
Homophones are words that have exactly the same sound (pronunciation) but different meanings and (usually) spelling. The etymology of homophone is made up of the blending of two combining forms: homo- (from the Greek word "homos")which means "same" -phone (from the Greek word "phone") which means "voice" or "sound" Therefore, there is a list of words which are homophones because their pronunciation is the same though they have different spelling and meaning: sauce/source one/won packed/ pact to/too/two saw/soar/sore there/their/they're scene/seen heard/herd allowed/aloud pair/pare/pear alms/arms there/their/they're bare/bear pole/poll liar/lyre rain/reign/rein flair/flare vain/vane/vein flaw/floor

The pattern uses then the elements necessary in the Present Perfect and Continuous   tenses: has (3 rd person singular he/ she / it) / have (rest) + been + V-ing (Gerund)   As in the Present Perfect Simple we also use prepositions “for” and “since” to point out to a quantity of time (minutes, days, weeks, months, years, centuries, etc.) or any date of time or specific event in the past till the present respectively.   The negative form just add particle “not” after the auxiliary verb “has/have” and the interrogative form inverts the order (has/have + subject + been+ V-ing) in which is obligatory to respond in a short answer (Yes/No, subject + has/have or negative form as
