👉 A burden; a weight to be carried.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve come across a tricky word today, “loads,” as the dictionary suggests it’s a "burden," a “weight” – quite a heavy thought, I must confess. But "loads" doesn't always mean something that weighs you down, you see? Let me explain with a little rhyme for you and me: Think of it like this, bright and bold, “Loads” can mean a story to be told! Like “a load of books,” piled up so high, A large quantity beneath the sky. Or "lots of friends," a happy crew, "Loads” refers to things we do! It’s about abundance, plentiful and free, Not just a sadness for you or me. So while it can describe something hard to bear, Like worries or troubles beyond compare, “Loads” is often used in a more joyful way, To mean “many” – let's brighten your day! Does that make the meaning clear? Any questions before we move on to our next lesson?
