Homonyms are words that are spelled the same and sound the same but have different meanings., e.g. SPRING which can both mean to move quickly and one of the seasons of the year.
Homonimy są to słowa, które mają taką samą pisownię i wymowę, ale inne znaczenia, np. słowo SPRING, które może znaczyć zarówno skoczyć, jak i wiosna.
