Is the word sand a homograph?

English

Mrrafil [7]3 years ago

<span><span>Yes, the word "sand" is indeed a homograph. Homographs are defined as words (usually pairs) having the same spelling. They aren’t necessarily pronounced the same. In fact some words completely change their meaning when there is a shift in the pronunciation. But they should always be used in the proper context, since they will have different meanings. In this case, "sand" is a homograph since it can be used either "put or sprinkle sand", "polish using a sandpaper", or "a granular substance formed from </span>soil erosion". </span>

Homographs are words that are spelled the same but are pronounced differently and have different meanings. Sand can mean a grainy substance or to smooth something.

Savatey [412]

The essential summary of "The cutting of My long hair" is that it is a story that is suggestive of the fact that there is a lot of discrimination being faced by Indians in the west.

<h3>What is an objective summary?</h3>
