These differences are very important. They change the meanings the words in the sentences. It is awesome.

What's the difference between "desert(verb) and "dessert" in pronuntiation?.

Excellent question @mariasilva-pk4ok! There is no difference at all in pronunciation - the verb desert and the noun for the type of food, dessert, are pronounced exactly the same. It's a good example of how English absorbs words from different languages. Dessert, with the double 's', comes from French - desservir - meaning to clean up the table, because dessert is the last thing that is served. The verb desert comes from Latin deserere, through French déserter, meaning to leave without permission. So these similar sounding and similarly spelt words came into English with the same pronunciation but different spelling. Neil
