Homonyms, Homographs, and Homophones

In this video, Teacher Aya introduces the concepts of homophones, homographs, and homonyms. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings, such as 'male' and 'mail'. Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings, like 'tear' (to rip) and 'tear' (a drop of liquid from the eye). Homonyms are words that are both spelled and sound the same but have different meanings, such as 'right' (correct) and 'right' (opposite of left). The video includes examples and practice exercises to help students understand these concepts.
