It would be easy for a listener to pick out the difference between spoken bass (fish) and bass (guitar) because those words are pronounced differently, but it wouldn't be as easy for a reader, because the difference between those two words is in their phonetics.
All the best.  | Is this one the same as well: " c. I read the book in my room." ? It may mean that "I always read my book in my room" and that "I read my book in my room yesterday", right? The difference can only be understood by listening to(Is this preposition required here? ) how the word read is pronounced, I guess...? |
