Note the sentences:
I sent the dress to the seamstress sew the hole it had in it.
I left the fish bake over low heat.
As you can see from the sentences, despite the similarity in sound, the verbs sew and bake have differences in writing and usage, don't they? Words that have the same sound and different spellings are called heterographic homophones. So the verb sew was used in the sentence above with the meaning of to sew,and the verb bake, in the sense of to cook. This is the fundamental semantic (meaning) difference existing between these two words.
Thus, we have:
→ Sew – the same as sifting, filling, sewing, repairing one's own clothes.
→ Bake– the same as cooking.
Examples:
My mother sewed my dress yesterday.
the seamstress works sewing the whole day.
The Cook baked the carrots for lunch.
Mom spends the day cooking our meals.
