Different meanings.
We learn and refine the meanings of words throughout our lives. Words have multiple meanings. There are central meaning (most common) and peripheral meanings (less common). There are also figurative meanings ('hit the sack'). Take the word 'ear', for example. Figurative meanings of ear may include, 'I have an ear for music.' or 'I'm all ears!' Figures of speech are important because they are very common in everyday speech and yet quite confusing to those who are trying to learn a language.
Words, that look and sound the same, can have different meanings. For example: The word 'pedal' can be on a flower or a bike.
Write words that have different meanings.
