    The words "read" and "read" are homographs, which means that they are spelled the same but have different pronunciations and meanings. "Read" (pronounced as "reed") is the present tense of the verb, which means to look at and understand the meaning of written words. "Read" (pronounced as "red") is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "read" (reed.) It means that the written words have already been looked at and understood.
