HOMONYMS AND SYNONYMS

Homonyms

They are words that are spelled alike (like homographs) and sound alike (like homophones).

bear (an animal)/ bear (to withstand or hold up) can (a metal container)/can (able to)

Homographs

They are words that are spelled the same, as indicated by the suffix "-graph," which means writing. Homographs have the same spelling but different meanings and usually different pronunciation. For example, consider the words "tear" and "tear." Tear can mean drops of water from the eyes; on the other hand, it can mean to rip paper into pieces.

bow (to bend at the waist)/ bow (a piece of archery equipment) entrance (to hold one's attention)/ entrance (a doorway)

Homophons

They are words that sound alike, thanks to that all-important suffix "-phone," which means sound. Homophones have the same sound but different meaning, and they are often spelled differently. For example, consider the word "fate" and "fete." Fate is an inevitable outcome, but a fete is a festival or party. Homophones may or may not be spelled the same, because the definition is really about the sound.

mat / matte two / too

Let's listen to a song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGJqMhRbZns

When it's love you gift (I'll be a man of good faith) Then in love you live. I'll make a stand. I won't break. I'll be the rock you can set up, Be there when you're old, To have and to hold. When there's love inward I swear I'll always be strong. And there's a reason why. I'll prove to you we belong. I'll be the fence that protects you From the wind and the rain, From the hurt and the ache.

Let's make it all for sole and all for love. Let the one you hold be the one you want, The one you need, 'Cause when it's all for one it's one for unit. When there's someone that should know Then just let your excitement show And make it all for one and all for love. When it's love you make I'll be the heat in your night. Then it's love you take. I will defend, I will battle. I'll be there when you need me. When honor's at stake, This oath I will make:

That it's all for one and all for love. Let the one you hold be the one you want, The one you need. 'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all. When there's someone that should know Then just let your feelings show And make it all for one and all for love. Don't lay our affection to rest 'Cause we could stand up to the test. We got all and more than we had programmed, More than the rivers that run the earth. We've got it all in our hands.

Now it's all for one and all for love. It's all for love Let the one you hold be the one you want, The one you need, 'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all. It's one for all. When there's someone that should know Then just let your feelings show. When there's someone that you want, When there's someone that you need Let's make it all, all for one and all for love.

Thank you!!
