Two words, that are one. Or one word that is two.

Close, close. Live, live. Read, read. Lead, lead.
Putting, putting.

might, might. hose, hose. can, can.

English must be a PIA to learn as a 2nd language. Glad it was my first.

Add to those all of the slang variations.

Going down. (direction)
Going down. (losing)
Going down. (sexual)

Three flies:
1. A housefly
2. Your pant's zipper
3. The act of travelling in an airplane.

How about a 4th?
4. The act of travelling fast in a car

The real PITA is that the ones I posted are pronounced differently.

I missed the zipper.

Oh, moving fast in a car is symbolic of moving through the air.

You can do it on the fly.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
