And we say english is easy...

The bandage was wound around the wound.

The farm was used to produce produce.

The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

We must polish the Polish furniture.

He could lead if he would get the lead out.

The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to
present the present.

A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

I did not object to the object.

The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

They were too close to the door to close it.

The buck does funny things when the does are present.

A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

After a number of injections my jaw got number.

Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Umm English is actually not the hardest language to learn if you weren't born in north america. There are far harder languages like arabic, japanese, chinese etc. Many other languages have much harder grammar than english does.

The example I meant was "a shelter for dwelling", we describe that as house, duplex, apartment, shack, mansion, cabin, tent, townhouse, condo, crib, etc, even a hotel or a motel, they all mean the same main thing but are all different respectively.

It wasnt that hard to learn the language when i came here. It took me about a total of 6-7 months to speak it fluently tho sometimes i couldn't get out the right word i was trying to say. There are by far harder languages then english i can tell u that much.
