Double Meaning Fill

Students examine pairs of sentences where the same word can complete both blanks, but must carry different meanings in each. The task challenges learners to think critically about vocabulary flexibility and semantic shifts. Students must infer meaning from context, evaluate how the word functions in each sentence, and ensure it makes sense both times. This strengthens language comprehension, reasoning skills, and understanding of multiple-meaning words in both reading and writing. The activity also supports careful attention to sentence structure and nuance.
