Very OT!! Probably “off list” reply is better.
Were I still working I would ask my teacher colleagues this- but I ain’t!
My 7 year old grand-daughter and I occasionally have discussions re parts of speech- verbs, adverbs, homonyms, synonyms, metaphors, similes etc.
I think my memory is going- because I used to know this-
A homonym is same sound, for different spelling and meaning- e.g. pale and pail- or rode and road, or two, too & to - yes?
A synonym is different word for same meaning- e.g. bucket and pail or pale and pallid- yes?
What is the word for ‘identical word- different meaning’ e.g. tie, (equal score in game, or neckwear) bolt, (door fastener, run away)
Is there a word for same spelling, different meaning and pronounciation- e.g. lead (heavy metal, dog restraint, past tense of verb to lead)
With flame resistant suit in place.- cheers
