Definition: To perform, carry out.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That’s a good start – “to perform, to carry out” - that’s the dictionary’s way of saying what ‘lasting’ does . But let's dig a little deeper, you see. “Lasting” doesn’t just mean doing something quickly, it means doing it with staying power , you agree? Think about it like this: if you build a tower of blocks, and it stands tall for a long, long time – that's lasting ! It hasn't crumbled or fallen down. Or, imagine planting a seed - you water it and care for it, and then it grows into a beautiful tree that lives on and on...that’s lasting too! It means something continues for a long period , doesn’t fade away quickly. It has a duration , a real staying quality. So, "lasting" really means to continue or endure – to have an effect that goes on and on. Do you have any questions about that? Let's discuss!
