First, let's define homophone: Each of two, or more, words that sound the same but are spelled differently
Here are some triplets:
Meet, meat, mete all sound the same
As do to, too, and two.
for that matter "do" also has due and dew
As do to, too, and two.
for that matter "do" also has due and dew
then there's"
you, yew, and ewe
flue, flew, and flu
Peek, Peak, and Pique
pear, pare, and pair
New, knew, and gnu
Let's use each of the trios in a sentence:
I'll have the meat ready to mete out for dinner when we meet.
You did that to me two too many times.
Do you understand that our wet footprints are due to the dew?
Did you see the ewe under the yew?
I will pare the pear and split it with my pair of boys.
Unable to peek over the peak, the climber left in a fit of pique.
In my flu delerium I imagined a bird flew down the flue.
I knew about the new gnu at the zoo.
You did that to me two too many times.

That's all I have for now. Try to find some others
Until next time. Namaste!
