Definition: To separate items into different categories according to certain criteria that determine their sorts.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
We’ve got “sorted” in our lesson today, it’s a word you’ll want to know,
It's more than just a simple phrase, a feeling and a flow.
The dictionary gives us this: "To separate items into different categories..."
That’s part of it, yes indeed, let’s plant the seed!
"...according to certain criteria that determine their sorts." – Quite a mouthful, I agree!
But think about it like this, for you and for me.
“Sorted” means organized, neat, and clean,
Like stacking books upon a scene.
It’s putting things in order, you see,
Just like arranging your toys happily!
Imagine you have crayons, red, blue, and green,
You sort them by color, a colorful sheen!
Or maybe clothes – shirts, pants, socks too –
Sorted by type, it's perfectly true.
It’s about making things make sense, a tidy display,
So “sorted” means organized in every way!
Do you understand now, my dears? Any questions to share?
