A bow is a stick that we use to play the violin. However the term has several other meanings!
A "bow"
a weapon that fires arrows 1
In this context, "bow" rhymes with go 2.
A "bow"
a physical gesture 3
In this context, "bow" rhymes with now 4.
1 a weapon that fires arrows: This is correct. A bow is a flexible strip of wood that has string stretched from its ends. Robin Hood (and his merry men) used bows to fire arrows at the Sheriff of Nottingham!
1 a branch of a tree: This is incorrect. A "bow" is not a branch of a tree. Perhaps you were thinking of "bough"?
1 a handsome man: This is incorrect. We would not call a handsome or good-looking man a "bow"!
2 go: This is correct. In this context, "bow" rhymes with "go" (and "no" and "slow"). Say it out loud! Go on, nobody's listening! Bow. Go. Bow. Go...
2 now: Oops! This isn't the best choice here!
3 a physical gesture: This is correct. A "bow" is also a physical gesture where one bends or inclines one's head or body in worship, submission, respect, civility or agreement. "To take a bow" is a common expression. Example: At the end of the concert, the pianist TOOK A BOW to acknowledge the audience's applause.
3 a day off from work: This isn't the best choice here, I'm afraid!
3 a pause in a journey: This isn't the best choice here, I'm afraid!
4 now: This is correct. In this context, "bow" rhymes with "now" (and "cow" and "wow"!). Practice this now - especially if you are in an office with your colleagues all around you: Take a BOW, sounds like NOW... Take a BOW, sounds like NOW... Take a BOW, sounds like NOW... Ok, that's enough!
4 go: Sorry, this is incorrect. Do NOT take a bow!
