Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings

and often different spellings. Here are a few examples:

1. **Flour/Flower:** Sarah wanted to bake a cake, so she went to the store to buy flour. But she got distracted by the beautiful flower shop next door and ended up purchasing a bouquet instead of flour for her cake!

2. **Knight/Night:** The brave knight rode out on his horse at night. He wanted to fight the dragon, but it was too dark to see anything!

3. **Sea/See:** Tim went to the beach to see the sea for the first time. But when he got there, all he could see was a dense fog, so he never really saw the sea.

4. **Write/Right:** Emily wanted to write her name on the board, but she couldn't decide which hand was the right one to use.

5. **Meet/Meat:** Tom wanted to meet his friends for dinner. He went to the restaurant and ordered a steak, but his friends arrived late, so the meat got cold.

Homophones often create confusion and humor due to their similar sounds but entirely different meanings.
