Hey
Homonyms are words that have different meanings but are pronounced or spelled the same way. There are two types of homonyms : homophones and homographs. Homophones sound the same but are often spelled differently.
One example is the word bow, which has several meanings pronounced two different ways, such as a weapon for shooting arrows, or to bend at the waist. Homonyms are words with the same spelling and pronunciation, but different meanings, which means they are simultaneously homographs and homophones.
