Reflecting 2 Definitions

Multiple Word Meanings #6

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to engage students with words that have multiple meanings, known as homonyms. Students are given a list of five words: ‘left,’ ‘trace,’ ‘grave,’ ‘sentence,’ and ‘minor.’ For each word, they are instructed to write two sentences, with each sentence showcasing a different meaning of the word. The lines provided under each word allow space for students to write their sentences, demonstrating their understanding of the various meanings.

The worksheet serves to teach students about the complexity and richness of the English language by exploring homonyms. It encourages critical thinking as students must come up with sentences that accurately reflect the different meanings of each word. This exercise helps to expand their vocabulary and enhances their ability to understand context. Furthermore, by creating sentences, students practice their writing skills and learn to apply their vocabulary knowledge in a practical way.
