it's interesting how non-native speakers almost never confuse those though
we make other kinds of mistakes, personally i really struggle with prepositions in every one of my non-native languages, because my native language doesn't have them, but has a weird suffix system instead
Because for native speakers we confuse the homonyms. Non-natives didn't grow up hearing all these words pronounced exactly the same.
