Which words are homophones?

Imagen

They are different from the main auxiliary main verbs Be, Have and Do because these three verbs can function alone in the sentence as main verb with meaning (“ser / estar, tener, hacer” correspondingly) or they can accompany a main verb in order to form another tense.
