There are 2 main categories for multiple meaning words. homophones homonyms • those that sound alike-- "Scale the fish completely before weighing it on the scale." • those that sound different -- "I drove down the windy road on a windy day."
Within these two groups, there can still be differences • different capitalization -- "You may see a rainbow in May.“ • different parts of speech -- "I run around the track." (verb) vs. "I like to go for a run" (noun) • different tense -- "I would like to read the book you just read.“ • different degrees (literal or figurative) -- "The general ranks above the corporal" vs. "The plane flies above the rooftops."
