👉 Something that is representative of all such things in a group.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – "Something that is representative of all such things in a group" - it’s a lovely way to put it, isn't it? Let’s break it down a little bit, with a rhyme to help you see: “Example” means a shining light, Showing us what’s right and bright. Think of it like this: imagine you have a box of crayons – lots of different colors, yes? An example is like picking one crayon - maybe the blue one - to show all the blues in that box. It's not every crayon, just one that stands for the whole bunch. It’s something we use to illustrate a concept, or explain an idea. Like when I might say, "An example of honesty is always telling the truth." That single act – telling the truth – shows us what honesty means . Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about how examples help us learn and understand things better?
