Fun with Misused Homophones


Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently. For today's writing prompt, write a short scene or story that uses homophones. Use the following list for inspiration. The challenge is to use all forms of the word(s) you choose within the piece you write. 
  • Grate/great
  • Compliment/complement
  • There/their/they're
  • Except/accept
  • Affect/effect
  • Conscious/conscience
  • Lead/led 

This isn't a complete list by any means, but enough to have fun as you "play" with words.
