In chapter five it talks about homonyms, homophones, and homographs. Homonyms words that have different meanings. Homophones are words that sound like each other such as to, too, and two. Homographs are words that have the same spelling, although the way you say it and the meaning are different. Each of these components are similar to one and other that may sound confusing and we wouldn't be able to tell what the word means, if it wasn't for the context of the sentence. The video above is a very cheesy song about homophones, but it does get the message across, how the words can be confused from another word.
