This is your homework for tonight .....There is also the same sounding words that are spelt different too,two ,to .... Ill start you off....Steak and Stake .....these too even have the same letters just arranged different....:)
Pasty. One can be pasty looking (pale) or one can eat a pasty (meat pie from Cornwall). Would you eat a pasty pasty? Resort. One can go to a resort or they can resort to something different. When the Paradise Resort burned down, people had to resort to staying at the No-Tell Motel. Pet. One can own a pet dog and they can also pet their cat. Do you pet your pet?

Funny, reading them all in front of me makes me realise just how many there aprealy are.....are there other languages that have the same words with different meanings...are there words with more than three meanings....?
Well ... in Spanish, if you put the adjective before the noun it can mean something different than if it is put after the noun ... like grande hombre = A great man and hombre grande = A large or fat man.
