Homonyms or multiple–meaning words, are words that have
the same spelling and usually sound alike but have different
meanings, for example "bark" = dog bark or tree bark. Right
from kindergarten, we learn to use context to determine which
meaning of a multiple–meaning word is appropriate.

To start off, my homonym is "date" = a fruit or a night out.


So... let's go. And preferably only one at a time.
 
Saw-- a woodwork tool or something seen
 
Dive- to enter head first into water or a rough place ( colloquial).
 
Boot-- a large shoe or the rear storage part of a car (trunk)
 
Ward---a room in hospital or a person under protection or district of a town etc.
 
Table--something to sit/ eat at or a set of facts organised/displayed for reference (eg: timetable).
 
Fine = being okay with something, or a penalty for breaching the law
