Definition: To be.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “To be” - is a little bit brief, you see. It tells us that something exists, it’s true, but it doesn't quite explain what ‘consisting’ does for you. Let’s break it down with a rhyme, nice and slow: “Consisting means, to make up, you know! A mixture of things, in a steady flow.” Think about it like this: a cake is consisting of flour, sugar, eggs, and spice. A rainbow is consisting of different colors, so bright! It's about the parts that make up something whole. It’s what makes things up , you see? So, 'consisting' isn’t just “to be,” it’s describing what something is made of . Does that make a little more sense now? Any questions before we move on?
