Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. These words can cause confusion for learners during listening and writing tasks. Choose the correct alternative regarding homophones in English.

Homophones are only found in American English, as British English pronunciation strictly distinguishes every word based on its Latin root.

The words 'their', 'there', and 'they're' are homophones in many dialects of English, despite having different grammatical functions and spellings.

The term 'homograph' refers to words that sound the same but are spelled differently, while 'homophone' refers to words spelled the same but sounding different.

In English, homophones are always verbs in the past tense that have the same sound as nouns referring to agricultural tools.

The pair 'hear' and 'here' is an example of heteronyms, meaning they are spelled the same but pronounced differently depending on the context.
