general

Think of general as a big, cozy blanket that covers everything in your room. When you say something is general, it means it includes a lot of things, not just one specific thing. Like when you say you like animals, that’s general because you’re not saying you like just dogs or cats, but all kinds of animals.

Imagine a general is like the big boss in an army. This person is in charge of many soldiers and makes big plans that affect everyone, not just one soldier. When we use the word general, we’re talking about something that is important and affects a lot of things or people.

Picture a general store in a small town. It doesn’t sell just one thing like a candy store or a toy shop. Instead, it sells a little bit of everything: food, toys, clothes, and more. This is because it’s meant to help everyone in town with many different needs. So, when you hear the word general, think of it as something that covers a lot of ground, just like that store.
