Definition: To be or remain suspended.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That’s a very good definition from the dictionary – “to be or remain suspended.” But what does that really mean in everyday language? Think of it like this: Imagine a kite soaring high above you. It's hung in the air, isn’t it? Not touching the ground, just floating there, held up by its string – that's being suspended! Or picture a raindrop clinging to a leaf. It’s hung there, waiting for the sun to dry it out. "Hung" can also describe something like a painting hanging on a wall - it's suspended from the nails, you see? It can even mean someone is feeling sad or low – “He was hung about his failed test.” That means he was feeling downcast and disappointed. So, in short: Hung means to be held up, kept aloft, or suspended in space! Do you have any questions about that? Let’s see if we can come up with some sentences using “hung” together – perhaps a rhyming one!
