🌟Make two sentences of your own to show the difference of Homograph🌟

👋 Introduction

Hello kids!
Today we will learn about some special words called homographs.

Homographs are words that look the same when we write them 📝, but they have different meanings.

It’s like one word doing two different jobs!

🔸 For example, the word “bat” can mean:

  • A stick we use to hit a ball 🏏
  • An animal that flies at night 🦇

🔸 Another example is the word “bark”:

  • The sound a dog makes 🐶
  • The outer covering of a tree 🌳

Isn’t that fun?
Learning homographs will help you understand words better when you read 📖 and write ✍️!

🔖 Tips & Tricks (Remember):

✅ They are spelled the same! 📝
✅ They have different meanings! 🔄
✅ They are usually pronounced the same, but sometimes they are said differently! 🗣️
