Homofony jsou slova, která stejně zní, ale jinak se píší. Zkuste si,
zda znáte pár pokročilejších dvojic slovíček.
V každé větě vždy doplňte jedno slovo tak, aby
věta dávala smysl. Stažené tvary (např. can't, won't) se počítají jako
jedno slovo.
V každé dvojici vět se obě slova musí vyslovovat
stejně.
Pozor! V některých případech jde o homofony pouze v britské angličtině!
