Gradual means something happens slowly and little by little. Imagine you are building a tower with blocks. Each day, you add just one block. At first, the tower is very short, but as you keep adding blocks day by day, it becomes taller. This is like being gradual because the tower doesn’t become tall all at once. It takes time, and you see it grow bit by bit.
Think about the sunrise. When you wake up early in the morning, the sky is dark. Slowly, the sky starts to change colors. First, it becomes a little purple, then pink, and finally bright blue as the sun rises. This change doesn’t happen in a second. It happens gradually, making the morning feel special because you see each color come to life.
Imagine learning to ride a bicycle. At first, it’s hard, and you might fall. But every day you practice, you get a little better. One day, you realize you can ride without falling. This improvement happens gradually because you get better step by step, not all at once.
