Definition: One who or that which turns.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
That’s a wonderfully tricky definition, isn’t it? “One who or that which turns.” It really gets you thinking about the
action
of turning.
Let's break it down with a little rhyme to help us see:
“A ‘turner’ can be someone who
twists
and
shifts
,
Or something that
rotates
, giving movement swift!”
Now, let’s think about some examples – this is where it gets interesting!
A Turner as a Person:
We might have a “Turner” who
turns
on a light switch, or a “Turner” who
turns
a new page in a book. They're someone who initiates a change, a shift in direction. Think of an artist who
turns
a blank canvas into a masterpiece!
A Turner as a Thing:
Think about a "Turner" – a lathe! It’s a machine that
turns
wood or metal to make beautiful shapes. Or maybe a “Turner” is a faucet, which
turns
on and off the water flow.
The key thing to remember is that "turner" describes something that causes a change of direction or state. It’s about the act of
turning
.
Do you have any questions about this? Perhaps an example you'd like to share?
