AboutRosemary Lenc Expertise I am a retired Middle School teacher. I am an expert in grammar (structure of the English
language) and writing. I have been a volunteer with AOL Ask A Teacher and have
submitted many articles and special collections (one on diagramming sentences and one
with worksheets and answers so students can check their own practice on grammar skills)
to their knowledge database. I still am with them but would like other work where I can
help students with their English study. I have time to help you with this, if you want me. I
can help with grade school, middle school and high school grammar & writing and can
also look up information on literature (reading) for students and help them with it.
Please let me know if I can be of help in these areas. Thank you.

Question How many homonyms are there in the English language? Thank you!
Answer Dear Marty,
There are so many homonyms in our English language that I believe more and more are found as we add words to our language. English is NOT a dead language. Our language keeps growing as we discover more and more in science, technology, etc. I enjoyed this article by Alan Cooper and think you will find it interesting also. It has a list of homonyms but there are so many that even he has asked for help from others. Check out this list. If you can add some to his list, be sure to send it to him. He would add your name to his list of "donors".
