 What I Need to Know

This module provides activities that will help you on

how to use homonyms.
Homonyms will help you improve your comprehension,
vocabulary, and study skills. You will be able to do these by
yourself if you read the discussion and directions carefully.

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

1. share personal experiences; and
2. use homonyms.

What I Know

Read each sentence. Encircle the correct word in the

parentheses that fits the sentence. Do this in your answer
sheet.

Lesson
Using of Homonyms (e.g. flower-
3 flour)

Homonyms are words that have the same sound but

different in meaning and spelling. The word “homo”
means alike.
For example, see and sea are homonyms. See means
to look at while sea means a big body of water.

What’s In

Color the heart red if the sentence tells something true

about homonyms. Do this in your answer sheet.

1. Homonyms are words that have different spelling but

have the same sound.

2. The word “homonym” comes from the prefix “homo”

which means the same.

3. There must be an outline or framework in

the homonym.

4. Scent and sent are examples of homonym.

5. Words with opposite meanings are also

called homonyms.
