The two words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings are "bashful" and "lonesome."

  • "Bashful" means being shy and not wanting to talk much, like when you're too nervous to speak in class.
  • "Lonesome" means feeling lonely, like when you don't have anyone to hang out with during recess.

So even though these two words sound the same and look the same, they can mean really different things!
