Every language has its own specialty and rules. To become an expert in any language, it is important to understand its grammar. Learning English language is easy but to become an expert in this, you should know everything related to it, through which you feel confident in speaking and understanding English.
In the English language, words that are pronounced the same but have a difference in their spelling and meaning are called homophones. Due to confusion, most people use homophones incorrectly. There are many homophones in English, but some of them are used specifically. Here are examples of some of the homophones, in a sentence:
1– Course (Prescribed Course)- The course books are on sale.

2– Except (Extra, except)- I have prepared all the topics except chemistry.
