Watch Homonyms are Multiple Meaning Meaning Words from Learn With Me Mrs. Sullivan:

How many of those homonyms did you already know?

Homonyms are words that have multiple meanings.

It's important for you to learn about homonyms so that you can make sense of them when you're reading and so you know which one to use to make your writing easily understood.

Homonyms are words that:

sound the same (They're pronounced the same.)
sometimes look the same (They are spelled the same.)
BUT they mean different things

Watch Confusing English Words | Homonyms explained with examples from FluentWorlds:

The video showed you a lot of homonym examples, especially those that are spelled a little differently.

There are LOTS of homonyms!

Let's look at some more examples that are spelled exactly the same!

Do you know what the multiple meanings of these words are?

bark	current	jam	remote
base	duck	key	right
bat	fall	lead	rock
beam	file	left	rose
board	fire	letter	saw
bolt	fold	light	serve
can	grave	match	spring
change	hail	nail	tie
chip	hood	order	watch
cool	iron	park	wave
			well

Don't worry if you don't know them all...we'll cover more examples later in the lesson!

When you are reading and come across a homonym, it's important to use the context (surrounding words or sentences) to think about what meaning would most make sense in that case.
