Words that are spelled the same but mean different things are called homonyms in English. A correct sentence that is made entirely of homonyms is: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Buffalo is the name a city in New York, buffalo are a type of large bison, and buffalo is a verb meaning to bully. The meaning of this sentence is that “Bison from Buffalo that other bison from Buffalo bully also bully bison from Buffalo.”
