What is the difference between homonyms and homophones. I found a website that gives direct answers @ icteachers.Co.UK.

Homonyms Vs. Homophones

They are often confused. However, once you get to play around with them they are quite easy. Here are their definitions:

Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently.

Homonyms are also words that sound the same but which are spelled the same. However they have different meanings.

Let's look at homophones:
Sea Water
See Using your eyes

Right Opposite of left
Write To put pen to paper

There Place/location
Their Belonging to someone

Steel Made from iron
Steal Take from someone

One reason for looking at homophones is because they sometimes cause confusion.

This is often true with there and their:
There is a place or a location.
While their is something that belongs to someone.

Look at the following sentences and see if you know which one to use.
The boys had left (there/their) bikes over (there/their) by the bike shed.
The mother pointed to the bags on the floor and asked "Who has left (there/their) bags (there/their)?"

Answers
The boys' had left their bikes over there by the bike shed.
The mother pointed to the bags on the floor and asked. "Who has left their bags there?"

Remember that homonyms are words that sound and are spelled the same, but have different meanings.Here are some examples:

club somewhere to dance
club large, heavy object that people get hit with

fine money you owe for bring things back late
fine feeling okay

rock a type of music
rock made of stone

What is the difference between a homophone and a homonym then?

Answer
Homophones SOUND the SAME, but are spelled differently.
Homonyms SOUND the SAME, are SPELLED the SAME, but have different meanings.
