Homophones Test 2

Homophones - Spelling Check #

Homophones are words that sound alike but are spelled differently.

In each phase or sentence of the tests that follow, the missing word, usually a homophone, is one that is often confused with a similar one.

For each blank space supply one of the two (or three) words given. You will NOT necessarily use each word once - you may have to use one word two or three times and you may not use the other(s) at all.

You will be given two definitions of words that sound alike. One of the words appears in the box above.
