chop
Chop is when you take something big and make it into smaller pieces. Think of it like when you have a big block of Lego and you break it apart into smaller blocks. When you chop, you use something sharp, like a knife, to cut through things. It’s like using a pair of scissors to cut paper, but instead, you’re using a knife to cut through something like a carrot.
Imagine you have a big piece of play-dough. When you chop it, you press down with a tool to make smaller pieces. It’s like making little play-dough cookies from a big ball. The pieces become easier to handle and use, just like when you chop veggies for a salad.
Think of chopping like when you break a big cookie into smaller bites. You take something whole and make it into parts that are easier to chew and enjoy. Chopping makes things smaller so you can use them in different ways, just like putting together a puzzle with small pieces to make a picture.
