homophones

Postby smithy » Mon Feb 25, 2008 4:14 pm

No, not a gay communication device but words that sound the same but are spelt differently like:

right, rite, write and wright
pour, poor, paw pore

My daughter has a school project and she needs to think of 4, four letter words that are homophones and buggered if I can think of it.
Anyone out there know the answer ?
Or can anyone add to the 2 I mentioned above ?
