Definition: (usually in the plural) Anything that is sold by itself, especially an article of clothing.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling ‘separate,’ a word that’s quite neat. The dictionary tells us it’s often complete – “Anything that's sold by itself, you see,” "Especially an article of clothing, for you and me!" Now, let’s break that down a little bit more, to make sure it sticks in your brain. "Separate" really means apart , distinct and alone. Think about it like this: A sock by itself , hanging on a shelf? That's separate! It doesn’t belong with its partner just yet. A pair of jeans , you buy them both as one? That’s also separate, until you wear them together, son! It means something that isn't joined or combined with others. It can also mean to divide things into different groups - like separating your colors when doing laundry! Do you have any questions about 'separate'? Don’t be shy, let’s explore it further! Raise your hand if you need a little more cheer!
