Seeing these reasons it is very clear to why people who are new to the English language can get confused as words can have a completely different meaning if they are pronounced slightly different. However, people who speak English and know it very well don't even need to think about how to pronounce the word as it just comes naturally.
1) We know the difference between a noun and a verb which means we know how to pronounce the words differently to make the sentence make sense.
2) The first 'produce' in the sentence is the verb in the sentence and the second is the object of the sentence, this leaves the 'farm' to be the subject of the sentence.
3) In this sentence we are aware that we need to emphasise 're' in the first refuse as this would make the sentence understandable.
4) We know the difference between a noun and and verb which is how we know which way to pronounce 'polish' even though they are spelt exactly the same.
5) The verb normally comes before the noun and this homophone usage follows the same pattern.
6) 'Desert' and 'dessert' are both spelt differently, 'desert' is the verb and 'dessert' is the noun. 'Desert' is the subject of the sentence and there is more emphasis.
7)The first 'present' relates to time and the moment, the second is relating to giving someone something and the final 'present' is a gift.
8) 'Bass' and 'bass' are spelt the same way yet have two different ways to pronounce the word.
9) Similar to 'bass', 'dove' are spelt the same but are pronounced differently and have different meanings.
10) The first 'object' is the verb which then means the second 'object' is the noun of the sentence.
