Definition: To regulate, be in charge of, make decisions for, reign over.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling the word “ruling,” and it’s a tricky one to really grasp. You've read the dictionary – "to regulate, be in charge of, make decisions for, reign over" – those words all point to what ‘ruling’ truly means.
Let’s break it down like this: Think of a king or queen, a leader with power and might! They
rule
their kingdom, making choices day and night.
“Ruling” basically means being in control.
It's about having the authority to say “yes” or “no,” to set the rules and guide others along the way. It’s not just following; it’s
leading
.
Think of a school principal, they
rule
the classroom – making sure everyone follows the guidelines, right? Or maybe a judge in court - they
rule
on cases and decide what's true!
So, “ruling” is about responsibility, leadership, and having the power to make things happen. Does that rhyme help you remember it a bit better?
Do you have any questions about ‘ruling’ before we move on?
