Double Trouble: Practicing Homonyms
The words indicated on this worksheet may sound and look the same, but they are "homonyms," meaning that they have different meanings. To complete this worksheet your child will need to read the different mysterious clues, and then decide what homonym each set of clues is describing. What word can mean "to spend time idly" and also "a unit of bread"?
