Why English Isn't Easy
The bandage was wound around the wound.
The farm was used to produce produce.
The dump was so full it had to refuse more refuse.
A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
I did not object to the object.
The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
They were too close to the door to close it.
The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
Upon seeing a tear in the painting I shed a tear.
I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

If behind my shed you tear the head off my ewe and it catches my eye, I will shed a tear and head for the police station.

Because English is composed of words from a number of other languages, all rules are violated and memorization is essential to proper comprehension and usage.
