Everyone occasionally makes grammar mistakes. A prevalent source of blunder occurs with using the wrong word that sounds the same as the word you intended to use. We call these "homophones" or "homonyms." Homophones are words that sound alike but have different meanings and spellings. On the other hand, homonyms are words that are said the same way or are spelled the same but have different meanings. English has plenty of words that can be tricky because they have the same pronunciation or spelling but completely different meanings.
