pronounced exactly the same way. They just have  different meanings and different pronunciations.

Our words are: 

told: gave an account and tolled: sounded like a bell

So to say these words correctly four sounds.

Start with that t. Touch the tip of the  tongue to the back of the top front teeth  

and as you pull it down air  will puff out of your mouth.

Move to the long o. To do this you're  going to open in a wide oval shape.  

Tip of the tongue is down. Back of the  tongue is pulled high up. And then round  

to a pucker. As you round to that  pucker your tongue is just going to  

go along for the ride and it will  end flat in the middle of your mouth.

Then we're going to add the l, l. Do this by  keeping that tongue moving all the way up to the  

back of the top front teeth. Super specifically  where your teeth meet the roof of your mouth.  

And then pull the tongue down for  that d d as you let the air puff out.

Let's put it all together.

t old told  

told told tolled tolled tolled

And now for a sentence: When the bell tolled  

the teacher told the students to take their seats.
