Definition: A hypothetical situation or proposition

Alright class, settle in and let’s take a look! You’ve got the dictionary definition down – “A hypothetical situation or proposition” - that’s a good start! But what does that really mean? Let's break it down with a little rhyme: “Hypothetical,” it sounds so neat, Means something we imagine, bittersweet. It’s not real, don’t you see? Just a thought for you and me! Think of it like this: If I said, "What if pigs could fly?" That's hypothetical! It could happen in a story, or a dream, but in the real world, it just isn’t so. It’s about exploring possibilities – ideas that might be true, but haven't been proven yet. We use them to test our thinking and learn new things. So “hypothetical” means something based on an assumption or a "what if?" scenario. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about it?
