Hey,
A few weeks ago, someone posted up a wonderful list of homonyms. I was wondering where the thread is? Anyone have it or does anyone have a link for the thread?
Me. |

DOS,
Thanks buddy. That's all I needed. I appreciate it. I am going to make a phew worksheets with homophones, homographs, and homonyms. I just needed a basic list.

hey cubanlord...you might want to throw a few heteronyms in there...they make for interesting study as a subset of homographs. 
Here is some material....and some links if you are still interested.
Homonyms
same spelling - same pronunciation � different meaning
bear (animal) and bear (carry),
left (opposite of right) and left (past tense of leave)
Homographs
same spelling � different pronunciation
read(present tense) � read(past tense)
bow � to bend your waist ---- bow � bow and arrow
Heteronyms- subject(noun) subject(verb)
object(noun) object(verb)
Homophones
same pronunciation � different spelling
bear(animal) � bare(exposed) --- read(present tense) - red(colour)
to, too, two --- there, their, they�re

quiz page - http://a4esl.org/q/h/homonyms.html
Hope this is useful to you.  |

Yes, homographs are cool and really good for higher level speakers to know... [url=http://www.mediafire.com/file/zyzdsm0qtnm/English Homophones.doc] Here's a nice worksheet I made [/url] of some of the major ones.... Might help someone...

"The bear cannot bear to be bare."
When one of my co-teachers goes techno-grammar-crazy, I lay the above sentence on her and say -
"Lucy, you got some 'splaining to do." |
