What is the definition of Ago? ๐ ๐
Gone; gone by; gone away; passed; passed away.
Alright class, settle down, letโs take a look!
Weโve encountered the word โagoโ in our reading today, and the dictionary gives us some pretty heavy words โ "gone," "passed," โaway.โ It can seem a little gloomy, I know.
But don't you worry, โagoโ doesnโt mean someone is ๐permanently๐ gone, not always! Itโs actually about
time
.
Think of it like this: When we say something happened "a long time ago," we mean it occurred in the past โ before now. Itโs a marker for how much time has already flown by.
Let's try an example. If I said, โI visited Paris five years ๐ago๐,โ that means I went to Paris five years ๐before today๐.
You can use "ago" with dates too! "The dinosaurs lived millions of ๐years ago๐." See? Itโs all about relating events to a point in the past.
Does that make sense, everyone? Raise your hands if you have any questions!
