What is the homograph for step?

The homograph for step is step.

It's a bit of a trick question! Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations. "Step" has multiple meanings, so it's a homograph of itself!

Here are a couple of examples of how "step" can be used differently:

* I took a step forward. (meaning to move your foot)

* He climbed the steps to the attic. (meaning a stair)

* This is a step in the right direction. (meaning a stage in a process)
