Although "homonyms" are sometimes defined as sounding OR spelling the same, the precise definition requires both. (Sound alikes are "homophones".) Homonyms have different MEANINGS, normally as differing parts of speech (i.e. verb-noun, adjective-noun). Heteronyms are spelled alike but have different sounds and meanings. Examples of homonyms :Bear (animal or carry) / Left (direction or not taken) / Cast (to mold or a splint) Examples of homophones : bye-buy, see-sea, ate-eight, threw-through, to-too-two. Examples of heteronyms : dove (bird, did dive) wind (air, to crank) close (near, to shut)

Can you give you atleast 20 examples of homonyms?

Homonyms are words that are spelled and pronounced the same, but have different meanings. Arms, bank, can, duck, exact, flat, groom, hood, iron, jam, kind, letter, mole, nail, order, pound, quarry, right, seal, tie, wave, and yard are all examples of homonyms. In contrast, homophones are only pronounced the same but spelled differently, and homographs are spelled the same, but pronounced differently.


Why can you calculate (-20) plus ( plus 8) by calculating 20-8 and taking the opposite of your result?

When you calculate (-20) plus (+8) by finding 20-8 and taking the opposite of the result, you are essentially using the concept of adding a negative number. By subtracting 8 from 20, you get 12. Taking the opposite of 12 gives you -12, which is the same as adding -12 to -20. This method follows the rules of arithmetic and helps simplify the calculation by converting it into a subtraction problem.
