2-1: Homonyms

Homonyms are words that:

• Sound the same.
• Are spelled differently or the same.
• Have different meanings.

For example:
I made the bed.
The maid made the bed.

Read the paragraph from the text. Find the matching homonyms for the underlined words in the paragraph. Then write a sentence for each matching homonym. The first one is done for you.

Therefore, you must try and wait patiently.
