Definition: (ditransitive) To give (someone or something) food to eat.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look,
At “feeding,” a word that’s quite simple and took
A little bit of study, a small little quest,
To understand its meaning, put it to the test!
The dictionary tells us, clear as can be,
“To give someone or something food, you see!”
(Ditransitive!) That's a fancy phrase, it’s true,
But let’s break it down for me and for you.
Think of a puppy, so tiny and sweet,
Needing nourishment, a yummy treat!
You
feed
the puppy – that’s giving it food,
A thoughtful action, understood!
Or maybe your grandma, with stories to tell,
Needs a delicious meal, a comforting spell.
You
feed
her dinner, a wonderful deed,
Planting happiness and a joyful need.
So “feeding” means delivering something tasty and good,
To someone or something – understood?
It’s about providing nourishment with care,
A simple action beyond compare!
Do you have any questions for me today?
