Definition: Something that is fixed in place, especially a permanent appliance or other item of personal property that is considered part of a house and is sold with it; compare fitting, furnishing.

Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! Today we're tackling the word “fixtures.” It can seem a little tricky at first, but I promise you’ll get it. The dictionary gives us a good starting point – "Something that is fixed in place…" Think of it like this: imagine a little LEGO house. You wouldn’t sell just any brick, would you? No! You'd want to include the things that are built into the house. “Fixtures” are those things. They're not just items you can easily move around – they’re part of the property itself. Like a stove or a refrigerator, a sink in the kitchen, or even light fixtures on the ceiling. These aren’t things you pack up and take with you when you move; they're considered attached to the house. Let's rhyme it out for clarity: “ F ixing them is quite a feat, I n a home, they can’t retreat! X tra items that are meant to stay, T ogether with the house they play.” It’s similar to “fitting” and "furnishing," but remember – fixtures are permanently part of the sale. Do you have any questions about whether something is a fixture or not? Let's discuss!
