👉 Well grounded or justifiable, pertinent.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look,
At the word "valid," it’s quite a book!
The dictionary gives us a helpful clue,
"Well grounded or justifiable," it's true.
Let's break that down, nice and slow,
To really understand what “valid” does know.
Think of it like this: a solid base,
A reason strong, in its rightful place!
Valid
means something is
correct
, you see,
It’s based on facts, for you and me.
It's
pertinent
too - meaning relevant and bright,
Connected to the topic, shining with light!
Does a building need a good foundation? (Raise your hand!)
Of course it does, or it will fall in frustration!
Similarly, an argument needs proof to stand,
If it's not valid, it’s lost in the land.
So “valid” means something is reliable and true,
A solid foundation for me and you!
Now, let’s try a little exercise... Can anyone give me an example of something that might be considered "valid"? Don't just say "yes," tell me
why
it's valid.
