Please, I need examples on the double meaning in sentences or what is called sentence ambiguity. So, who can help?

Thank you

I see the first as amusingly ambiguous, but not the second. What am I missing?
 
Dear nanaguerna
Thank you so much for being helpful, wouldnt you complete your favor and give me the two meanings? Thanks again

The ambiguity of the second is in whether they find (discover) charitable institutions, or found (establish) charitable institutions.

thanks dear for being helpful,
 
Reslove the ambiguity of the following sentences

put the books on the table by the window in the kitchen
John went to the bank
the lamb is so hot to eat
he sold the car to his brother in Italy.

List the free and bound morphemes of the following
curriculum
toddler
imbibed
oasis
homorganic
affirmatory
wealthy
data
Anderson

define: juncture in the English Language

That's all...thanks for all

We can't do your work for you.

O.K, this is a try
the lamb is so hot to eat
the lamb is hot so lets eat
or the lamb is hot; we cannot eat
John went to the bank
the bank= the other side of the river or the organization itself

the others are difficult...
curriculum one free morpheme
toddler=er is a bound derivational morpheme
imbibed= ed is a derivational bound one
oasis= one free morpheme
homorganic=one free moepheme
affirmatory= atory is a derivational bound morpheme
wealthy=y is a derivational one
data= is one morpheme if it is singular, and is two if it is plural
Anderson=is one morpheme

these are only some examples, i found a lot of them and tried to do them, now these are quite difficult, jast want help !
