Tear is a homograph, so it has two sets of homophones depending on its pronunciation.
- When "tear" is pronounced with the long "a" sound, as in "please tear the coupon out of the newspaper," its homophone is tare.
- When "tear" is pronounced with the long "e" sound, as in "a single tear rolled down her cheek," its homophone is tier.
