"English is weird"

1) "Wound" is a homophone but we automatically know the difference between the verb and the noun without even having to think about it; this is because of the context it is in.
 

2) The "farm" is the subject and the first "produce" is the verb and the second is the noun.

3) The pronunciation of the second refuse is more exaggerated than the first to make it clear that the two words are the same but have different meanings.

4) The first "polish" is the verb and the second is the nationality where the furniture is from which is Poland.

5) Usually the verb comes before the noun which is the same pattern in this usage of homophones.

6) The first "desert" is the verb, the "dessert", which is the noun, is spelt differently but pronounced the same only more exaggerated in the context and the final "desert" is the subject.

7) The first "present" relates to time, the next is as in 'giving' and the final is the gift itself.

8) "Bass" in this sentence is spelt the same but has two different pronunciations.

9) The two "dove's" have the same spellings but have different meanings and different pronunciations.

10) The first "object" is the verb which makes us know that the second "object" is noun.
