The word forbid is like when a superhero says “No” to something dangerous to keep everyone safe. Imagine if you wanted to climb a very tall tree, but your superhero friend says, “I forbid you to climb that tree because you might fall and get hurt.” They say this because they care about you and want to protect you from getting hurt.
Another way to think about forbid is like a red stop sign that tells cars to stop. When you see a stop sign, it forbids cars from going forward because there might be other cars coming. This helps keep everyone safe on the road.
Or think of it like a magic spell that makes something not happen. If you’re playing with a toy and someone says, “I forbid you from breaking it,” it’s like casting a spell to make sure the toy stays in one piece. It’s a way to make sure that things stay nice and safe.
So, forbid is a way of saying “No” to something that might be a bad idea, to keep you and others safe and happy.
