HOMONYMS
Homonyms, broadly defined, “Homo”
means “same” and “nym” means “words”. Hence Homonyms are words that are spelled
the same and pronounced the same as each other, and yet have different
meanings.
homographs are words which have same spelling as
each other but pronounced differently. homophones are words spelled
differently but pronounced the same.
Homonyms are the words which have same spelling and same pronunciation but different in meaning.
For example:
We take the word “leave”
I write a leave letter
Will you leave me alone
In both the sentence you can find the
word “leave”. It is used to convey different meaning. But it is similar in
spelling and sound.
