Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
That definition you read – about the ‘broad’ lake in Norfolk and Suffolk – that’s just
one
meaning, you see.
Now, when we talk about “broad,” it has a completely different sense today. It's not about water, don’t you fret!
“Broad” means
wide
, my dears, quite simple to detect.
Like a broad street, or a broad smile, you can bet!
It can also describe something
large
and wide too – a broad hat, a broad view, it's true!
Think about it like this: “broad” is often used for things that are expansive, stretching out with plenty of space.
So, when you read the dictionary definition, remember it’s just a geographical detail. The word "broad" has many uses, and we’ll explore them as we go!
Do you have any questions about this, class?
