Homonyms quiz
A homonym is a word that is spelled and pronounced the same but has different meanings. For each pair of words below, can you guess the homonym applying to them. Most are not difficult but a few may take more thought. As usual, you have to get the answer I'm looking for. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.
REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to midnight tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.
