Homonyms Quiz - Test your English

Homonyms are words that are pronounced or spelt in the same way but have different meanings – there and their, for example.

This quiz will test you on some of the most commonly confused homonyms. How well do you know your allusions from your illusions and your pails from your pales?

After you’ve answered the questions and been given your score, an explanation of each pair of homonyms will appear. Good luck!

Many homonyms and homophones are commonly and increasingly confused in CVs, covering letters and application forms. This seems to be stemming from the use of on-line thesauruses in word-processors, when an applicant will try to replace a short word, with a more impressively sounding longer word, but without quite understanding its precise meaning!

Homophones are a type of homonym that also sound the same and have different meanings, but also have different spellings, for example aloud and allowed.

Is a great way to test how much you know about homophones!
