Heteronyms are words that are spelt the same, but are pronounced - TopicsExpress



          

Heteronyms are words that are spelt the same, but are pronounced differently and dont share the same origins (present, a gift or present, to be here). Homonyms are spelt and pronounced the same but have different meanings (tire, the rubber thing on the wheel, or tire, to be fatigued). Heterographs have different spellings but the same pronunciation (two, to and too). The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert... And English is FULL of them. Notice how your brain readjusts itself as you try to read these sentences to make them make sense.
