👉 To start (a fire).
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That’s a good start from the dictionary – “to start a fire,” that’s certainly one way to think about ‘lighting’! But "lighting" has a broader meaning, you see. It can also mean to illuminate , like when we turn on a lamp or a lightbulb bright! Think of it this way: Lighting a candle - starting the flame with a match, that's lighting a fire! Street lights shining – they’re lighting up the road at night. So, 'lighting' has two wonderful sides to its meaning. It can be about creating heat and flames, or it can be about bringing light into a space. Do you understand? Any questions before we move on?
