Definition: A burden; a weight to be carried.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
You’ve come across a tricky word today, “loads,” as the dictionary suggests it’s a "burden," a “weight” – quite a heavy thought, I must confess.
But "loads" doesn't
always
mean something that weighs you down, you see? Let me explain with a little rhyme for you and me:
Think of it like this, bright and bold,
“Loads” can mean a story to be told!
Like “a load of books,” piled up so high,
A large quantity beneath the sky.
Or "lots of friends," a happy crew,
"Loads” refers to things we do!
It’s about abundance, plentiful and free,
Not just a sadness for you or me.
So while it
can
describe something hard to bear,
Like worries or troubles beyond compare,
“Loads” is often used in a more joyful way,
To mean “many” – let's brighten your day!
Does that make the meaning clear? Any questions before we move on to our next lesson?
