Definition: The time between two events.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve got the dictionary definition – “the time between two events” – that’s a good start, it’s true. But "meanwhile" is more than just a simple measurement of time, you see? Think of it like this: imagine you're baking a cake, and while the batter is rising nice and slow, something else happens - maybe you answer a phone call or read a book! You’re doing other things at the same time . That’s "meanwhile." It describes what’s happening in between – a little pause, a shift in focus. It's like a bridge connecting two moments. Here's another rhyme to help you remember: "Meanwhile, it’s a word so bright, A gap in time, shining light! Between the things that come and go, A different story starts to flow!" So, “meanwhile” means during the time between two events. It tells us about what was happening elsewhere , while something else was unfolding. Do you have any questions about this little word? Let’s discuss!
