Definition: To follow in order; to come next after; hence, to take the place of.

Alright class, settle down now, let’s talk about “succeed,” you see! That dictionary definition – "follow in order, come next after" – it's a good starting point, truly. But let's dig a little deeper, you and me! Think of it like this: imagine a line at the ice cream shop, long and bright. The person who follows in that line is moving closer to their treat, right? That’s part of what “succeed” means – to progress, to move forward with a plan or goal. But "succeed" isn't just about following a path; it’s about taking the place . Let’s say you’re aiming for the top spot on your spelling test - you want to beat everyone else! You’re succeeding by taking their place as the best. So, “to succeed” really means: Moving ahead: Like a race or a learning curve. Achieving a goal: You set yourself something to do and then you actually do it! Replacing someone (or something): Stepping into a role, a position, or even just surpassing a previous achievement. Does that make sense? Don't be afraid to ask for clarification if anything is hazy. Now, let’s think about some examples... Can anyone give me an example of when they’ve succeeded recently?
