👉 A person's name, written by that person, used as identification or to signify approval of accompanying material, such as a legal contract.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “signature,” and it’s quite a clever thing. The dictionary gives us a good start, don't you think? Let’s break it down with a little rhyme: “A signature is your name, you see, Written by yourself, for all to agree! It proves that you are truly there, To sign a deal, or show you care!” Essentially, it's about identification . Think of it like this: if someone signs a document – a contract, a letter, even a drawing – they’re saying "This is me! I approve!" It's a way to confirm that something belongs to them. Just like you might sign your name on a homework sheet, or a birthday card, a signature does the same job but with more importance in things like legal matters. Does that make sense? Any questions before we move on?
