Definition: To end; to come to an end.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve got the dictionary definition – “to end; to come to an end” – that’s a good start, it’s true. But "conclude" is a little more than just stopping something, you see. Think of it like this: when you're telling a story, you conclude it with a final sentence or paragraph, right?

It’s like saying “The story is through!” or “Let’s wrap it up now, it’s true!” Do you have any questions about this? Let’s discuss!
