Idiom
Idiom Definition
The
term refers to a set expression or a phrase comprising two or more words. An
interesting fact regarding the device is that the expression is not interpreted
literally. The phrase is understood as to mean something quite different from
what individual words of the phrase would imply. Alternatively, it can be said
that the phrase is interpreted in a figurative sense. Further, idioms vary in
different cultures and countries.
Idiom Examples
“Every
cloud has its silver lining but it is sometimes a little difficult to get it to
the mint.”
“American
idioms drive me up the hall!”
“I
worked the graveyard shift with old people, which was really demoralizing,
because the old people didn’t have a chance in hell of ever getting out.”

Proverb
Definition of Proverb
Proverb is a brief,
simple and popular saying, or a phrase that gives advice and effectively
embodies a commonplace truth based on practical experience or common sense. A
proverb may have an allegorical message behind its odd appearance.
Examples of Proverbs

If you remove the
dirt of your ancestors, you can have a better future. Everyone can build
his/her own fame.
“A toad does not run in the daytime for nothing.”
Everything
happens for a reason and for something not for nothingness.
“A child’s fingers are not scalded by a piece of hot yam which its mother
puts into its palm.”
Children who obey
their mothers are not punished.

Homonym/ Homophone/ Homograph
Definition:
homograph
Use
the noun homograph to talk about two words that are spelled the same but
have different meanings and are pronounced differently — like "sow,"
meaning female pig, and "sow," to plant seeds.
example:
·
"Advocate"
can be pronounced with a long "a" sound and mean “to speak or write
in support of”
- "Advocate" can also be pronounced with a short "a" sound and refer to a person who supports or pleads the cause of another.
homonym
A homonym is a word that is said or spelled the
same way as another word but has a different meaning. "Write” and “right”
is a good example of a pair of homonyms.
example
:
Than (a
comparison) and then (shows time)
There (a
place) and Their (belongs to them) and They're (they are)
To (a
preposition) and Too (an adverb) and Two (a number)
Your
(possessive pronoun) and You're (you are)
homophone
A
homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a
different meaning and/or spelling. “Flower” and “flour” are homophones
because they are pronounced the same but you certainly can’t bake a cake using
daffodils.
example :
Sole owner am I of
this sorry soul…
pour out corruption’s slag from every pore—
whole slates scrape clean! they leave no gaping hole.
Rôle that I’ve played, loose grip! while back I roll,
or dodge each wave, or with firm grip on oar
bore through this sea, snout down, just like the boar
