Definition: To try.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve hit on something very important today, quite true – the word “attempted.” The dictionary is right, it does mean "to try," but there's more to it than just a simple deed. Think of it this way: when you attempt something, it means you’re giving it your best shot, you’re putting in the effort – that’s the key! It suggests you’re trying hard , but maybe not always successful. Let's say someone tries to bake a cake, and it doesn’t quite turn out right… we’d say they attempted to bake a cake. They gave it their all, but the result wasn’t perfect! It’s about the trying , the intention, even if the outcome isn't what you hoped for. Does that make sense? Any questions before we move on?
