Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings, which can lead to confusion in writing. Words like their, there, and they're are some of the most common homophones in English: their shows possession, there refers to a place, and they're is a contraction of they are. It’s easy to mix them up, especially when writing quickly. To avoid mistakes, it’s essential to know the correct spelling of each word and understand their meanings.
