Don't leave that grease on the floor; someone might slip and fall.
There is a grease spot on your tie.

Grease may also mean to lubricate--
The recipe says that you should grease the pan.
If you grease that hinge it will stop squeaking.

Greece ( a proper name, always capitalized ) means the country in Southern Europe--
They plan to go to Greece next year.
Today we are going to read about Ancient Greece.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"We were packing for our trip to Greece, and he decided to grease the wheels of our suitcases."
