Answer:

Put quite simply, a homograph is a group (usually a pair) of words that are spelled the same way, and may or may not be pronounced the same way, although the difference in pronunciation is often just a shift in the accented syllable.

There is a whole class of homographs that end in -ate, usually with one being a verb and the other being a noun or an adjective related to it. For example:

"Advocate" can be pronounced with a long "a" sound and mean "to speak or write in support of"

"Advocate" can also be pronounced with a short "a" sound and refer to a person who supports or pleads the cause of another.

Common Homographs

Now that you know what they are, here are 40 examples of homographs:

accent - stress or emphasis/a manner of speaking or pronunciation influenced by the region in which one lives or grew up

agape - wide open/a Greek word meaning "love"

attribute - a characteristic or quality/to think of as belonging to or originating in some person, place or thing

axes - the plural of ax or axe/the plural of axis

bass - a deep voice or tone/a kind of fish
