Definition: Closed, shut.
Alright class, settle down and listen close to me, Weโre going to explore a word for you to see! The dictionary tells us "closed," โshut,โ itโs true, But โcloserโ has a meaning just for you. Think about your friends, when they're near, you say, "Youโre getting closer!" Hip hip hooray! It doesn't mean to stop something, halt and cease, Instead, it means moving towards with joyful peace! โCloserโ describes a distance, short or long, A step nearer, where you truly belong. Like drawing near to someone, warm and bright, Or getting closer to a shining light! So 'closer' means nearer , that's the key, Moving towards something, happy as can be! Does that make sense? Any questions for me?
