Can you think of any homonyms? Homonyms are multiple-meaning words, are words that have the same spelling and usually sound alike, but have different meanings. I'll start off first. Here goes:

and then there are waves!

One word, spelled the same, but meaning totally different things. Can you think of homonyms to add here?
