Definition: A mode of transportation, often a train, that travels quickly or directly.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That dictionary definition is a little tricky, isn't it? It talks about “express,” but it’s not quite the whole story. “Express” has a lot more to offer than just speedy trains, you see! Let’s break it down with a rhyme: "To express means to show or tell, A feeling, thought, or story well!" Think of it like this: when you express yourself, you're sharing something – an idea, a mood, maybe even a secret! It can be through words, art, music...anything that lets your inner self shine. The dictionary was focusing on the fast aspect - express mail, for example, gets things to you quickly. But "express" also means to communicate clearly and directly – like “expressing your opinion” or “expressing gratitude.” Does that make a little more sense? Do you have any questions about how we use ‘express’ in different ways?
