7* Words with More than One Meaning
instructions (to pupil)
Most words have more than one meaning. Think, for example, of
the word bridge: we may speak about a bridge over a river and also
about the bridge of the nose (quite another kind of bridge); we may
speak, too, of the bridge of a violin (still another kind of bridge) and
of the game of bridge (which, again, is nothing like the other kinds
of bridge).
Here are eight more words which have more than one meaning:
COVER      LINE      RUN      ROUND       ROLL      POINT      HEAD       CROSS
- These eight words may be used to fill in the blanks in the sentences
below. See if you can put them in the right places. You will find
when you have done this that you have used each of the eight words
five times.
