👉 Given to expending a lot of money; profligate, lavish.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a tricky word that can lead us astray!
“Expensive,” it seems, is what we need to know,
Let's break it down, and watch our learning grow.
The dictionary gives us a helpful clue,
"Given to expending a lot of money," it’s true!
Think about your toys, or treats you might desire,
If they cost a lot, then they're expensive, higher!
It also mentions words like "profligate" and “lavish,” see?
“Profligate” means spending freely, carelessly!
Like buying sweets with no thought for the cost,
A little bit wasteful, that’s what it's almost lost.
And "lavish" describes a grand and costly show,
With fancy decorations, putting on a glow!
Think of a birthday party, bursting with delight,
If things are lavish, they're expensive and bright.
So “expensive” means something costs a lot to buy,
More than the average, reaching for the sky!
Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose?
Let’s discuss this word before it goes!
