👉 Classifying is like categorizing something into small categories of things that belong together and are similar in nature - much like sorting out what's common in a group. But instead of just putting them back together, you classify them into different groups based on their similarities or differences.
For example: Imagine you have a bunch of toys: teddy bears, balls, blocks, and balloons. You can sort them into these categories:
- Toys with blocks (like the giant, round block)
- Balls
- Teddy Bears
Now imagine you've been classifying all your toys based on their size and shape. This is like saying "I'm a huge teddy bear" or "My balls are just as big as your blocks!" You can't classify them in any way that's fair because they're so different.
So, when people say, "She classified her toys," it means she sorted them into these categories and then put them back together. It might not be the most fun thing to do, but sometimes, it just makes for an interesting conversation or joke!
