List of Noun/Verb Homographs<br />

Homographs are words which are spelled the same, but have different meanings. They often<br />

have different sounds too.<br />

The following two-syllable words can be used as either nouns (with the strong stress on the<br />

1 st syllable) or as verbs (with the strong stress on the 2 nd syllable).<br />

For example, the noun “transport” Tran sport – stressed on the 1 st syllable – means a<br />

method of getting somewhere, whilst the verb “transport”==tran Sport – stressed on the 2 nd<br />

syllable – means to take somebody or something somewhere.<br />
