A breakdown is like when your favorite toy stops working. You know how your toy car might not move anymore because something inside is not right? That’s a breakdown. It’s when something that usually works just fine suddenly can’t do its job. It might be because a part is broken or because it needs a little help to start working again.
Think of a puzzle that you are putting together. When all the pieces are in the right place, the picture looks perfect. But if a piece is missing or in the wrong spot, the picture doesn’t look right. That’s a bit like a breakdown. It’s when something isn’t fitting together the way it should.
Or imagine a train on a track. It goes smoothly when all the wheels are on the rails. But if one wheel goes off the track, the train can’t move. That’s another way to think about a breakdown. It’s when something that should be moving along smoothly gets stuck and needs fixing.
