Homographs and Multi-meaning Words

Have you ever been confused about the difference between Homographs and Multi-meaning Words? Well, I have! So I researched it comprehensively to create a few handy tools to help teachers (and students) to understand the each term and how to tell the difference between a homograph and a multiple meaning word.

What is a homograph? What are multiple meaning words? The most important thing to stress is that homographs and multi-meaning words are not the same thing. 

Multi-meaning words are single words that can be used for multiple meanings (and  are both spelt and pronounced in the same way). Example: orange (color) and orange (fruit).
