Let's solve this homographs worksheet step by step.

🔹 What are Homographs?

Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. For example:
- Bat: a baseball bat or a flying animal.
- Fly: to fly (as in birds) or a small insect.
- Cold: something cold (temperature) or a sickness (like "I have a cold").
- Ring: a sound (like bells ringing) or jewelry (a ring on a finger).

We need to match each sentence with the correct picture using the shapes provided (circle, star, square, triangle, heart, etc.).

---

✔ Let’s go through each pair:

---

#### 1. Birds can fly.
- Picture: Two birds flying in the sky.
- Sentence: "Birds can fly." → This refers to flying (action).
- The other sentence is: "There’s a fly in my soup!" → This refers to the insect.

So:
- ✔ "Birds can fly" → matches the birds flying picture.
- Shape next to "Birds can fly": green circle and red star.
- The picture of birds has a green circle, so we check the green circle box for this sentence.

👉 Match: Birds can fly → Birds flying (green circle)

---

#### 2. There’s a fly in my soup!
- Picture: A bowl of soup with a small insect (a fly).
- This "fly" means an insect.
- So this matches the soup with insect picture.
- That picture has a red star.

👉 Match: There’s a fly in my soup → Soup with fly (red star)

---

#### 3. I drank cold lemonade.
- Picture: A glass of lemonade with ice and a lemon slice.
- "Cold" here means low temperature.
- The other sentence: "Chloe is in bed with a cold." → "cold" = illness.

So:
- ✔ "I drank cold lemonade" → matches the lemonade picture.
- Lemonade picture has a purple square.

👉 Match: I drank cold lemonade → Lemonade (purple square)

---

#### 4. Chloe is in bed with a cold.
- Picture: A girl in bed with a thermometer, looking sick.
- "Cold" here means illness.
- The picture has a blue triangle.

👉 Match: Chloe is in bed with a cold → Girl in bed (blue triangle)

---

#### 5. Santa’s sleigh bells ring!
- Picture: Santa in his sleigh pulled by reindeer, with bells ringing.
- "Ring" here means sound (to make a ringing noise).
- The other sentence: "Kylie has a beautiful ring." → jewelry.

So:
- ✔ "Santa’s sleigh bells ring" → matches the Santa sleigh picture.
- That picture has a blue oval.

👉 Match: Santa’s sleigh bells ring → Santa sleigh (blue oval)

---

#### 6. Kylie has a beautiful ring.
- Picture: A girl showing off a ring on her finger.
- "Ring" here means jewelry.
- That picture has a pink heart.

👉 Match: Kylie has a beautiful ring → Girl with ring (pink heart)

---

✔ Final Matching Summary:
