Definition: A transitional or temporary period between other events.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That definition you read – “a transitional or temporary period between other events” – that’s a really good starting point. Let's break it down with a little rhyme: “ Interim means in-between, you see, A pause, a wait, for all to agree. It’s not the start, nor is it the end, Just a stepping stone, my friend!” Think of it like this: if you're building a tower tall, an interim might be the time between laying one brick and putting another on top. It’s a holding phase, a little bit in-between what was and what will be. It can show up in lots of places! A teacher stepping into a role while someone is away – that’s an interim position. A project moving forward while waiting for final approval – that's also interim. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about this ‘in-between’ time?
