Let’s begin!
What is a homophone?

A homophone is a word that sounds exactly like another word but is spelled differently and means something else. "Sun" and "son" sound the same, but one is a star and one is a child. Your ears cannot tell them apart, so you have to think about the meaning of the sentence.
