down (fine, soft feathers) printing machine)

Another type of multiple-meaning word is a word that is spelled the same but pronounced
differently for different definitions.

Examples:wind /wind/ (air in motion) wound /wünd/ (an injury)

wind /wīnd/ (to wrap around) wound /wound/ (past tense of
wind) Page 45 of 62

CHALLENGE Use a dictionary to find two different definitions for suit, root, and pass.
Choose one word. Construct three sentences for that word in the same manner as the
above activity. See if another student can identify which answer choice uses the same word
meaning.

Read the sentences below. Look at the underlined word.

Be careful not to drop the glass.

There is only one drop of water left in the jug.

In the first sentence, drop is a verb–an action that could happen. In the second sentence, drop
is a noun–meaning “a small amount.”

Strategies for Decoding Multiple-Meaning Words

1. Use context clues. Ask: What is the word’s part of speech? Do other words in the
sentence or nearby sentences give clues about its meaning?
2. Use a dictionary. Look at the different definitions and ask: Does this definition make
sense as it is used in the text? Keep looking until one definition fits. Pay attention to the
pronunciation–you might have heard the word before, but pronounced differently.

TOPIC: SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE

1. The simple future tense is used to describe an action that happens once in

I [am]
he / she /it [is] you / we / they [are]

Example: He will clean his room in a few hours.

Example: I am going to play in the game tomorrow.

negative.
