Homophones are words of the same language that are pronounced alike even if they differ in spelling, meaning, or origin, such as "to", "too" and "two".

In the English language we have words that sound the same but have different meanings and spelling. An example might be, to, too, two.

well technically you wouldn't be right in saying there are three of them. just because they are similar doesn't mean they are the same. they mean totally different things, so its like comparing apples and oranges. yes they're both fruit but they have no other similarities. same with these words. they're spelled similarily but all mean very different things.
i guess you could say there are three words in the english language with the pronounciation "to", they are to, too and two.

A homonym of "to" could be either "too" or "two". Each has a different meaning but all are pronounced the same.
