7. MULTI-SIGNIFICANT WORDS, OMONIMS

In the English language, there are often words that, being polysemantic, are also conversions. There is grammatical homonymy, i.e. when it changes the grammatical form of the word in one part of speech, it coincides in form with the word in another part of speech.

For example, the word mean can be a noun (middle, average, magnitude), a multi- valued adjective (average, mediocre, and many others), a verb to mean, to mean; imply, etc.); means - a noun that is consistent with the verb in both the singular and the plural (means, means), means - a verb in the form of Present Indefinite 3 l., unit hours; given - Past Participle from the verb to give, given - a multi-valued adjective.
