Definition: The main tower of a castle or fortress, located within the castle walls.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
That’s a very specific definition from the dictionary, isn’t it? It tells us about the
main
part of a castle – the heart, if you will. But “keeps” is actually a word with a wider meaning, a bit more playful to fulfill!
Let's break it down:
“Keeps” means
to hold onto something
, or
to protect it
. Think about it like this - a castle
keeps
its people safe inside, right? It
keeps
treasures locked away.
It can also mean
continues
– "The rain keeps falling," or “She keeps singing.”
So, while the dictionary gives us a very specific castle definition, “keeps” is really about holding on, protecting, and continuing!
Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about how ‘keeps’ can be used in different ways?
