Homonym: NAIL
“When I built my birdhouse, I used a small hammer and a shiny nail to hold the pieces of wood together. Later that evening, I noticed the polish on my fingernail had chipped while I worked. My friend laughed and said, ‘You really nailed that project!’ The next day, our teacher asked who finished early, and everyone pointed to me—I’d nailed the assignment too. I smiled, holding up my sore but satisfied hand, thinking how one little word could mean so many things.”
