Definition: An instance of throwing and catching each prop at least twice.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – "An instance of throwing and catching each prop at least twice" – is a very specific way to describe ‘qualify’. It's a little tricky, isn’t it? Let’s break it down. “Qualify” doesn’t just mean something is good or suitable. It means meeting certain standards or requirements. Think of it like this: you need to prove you’re ready for something! Imagine you're trying out for a sports team, right? You have to do some drills – maybe throwing and catching a ball. If you can do that skill (throwing and catching a prop - perhaps beanbags or balls) at least twice without making a mistake, then you qualify as someone who has demonstrated the basic ability needed. So, ‘qualify’ means to demonstrate enough skill, knowledge, or fitness to be allowed to participate or be considered for something. It's about passing a test, meeting a criteria, showing you've got what it takes! Does that make more sense? Now, can anyone give me an example of when we might use the word "qualify" in a different context than throwing and catching props? Don’t be shy – let's hear your thoughts!
