When you use the word left, it can mean different things. Let’s think about your hands. You have a left hand and a right hand. Your left hand is the one that makes an ‘L’ shape when you stick out your thumb and point your index finger. It’s the hand you might use to hold a fork if you’re eating.
Now, let’s talk about directions. If you’re walking down a path and someone says to turn left, it means you turn the way your left hand points. Imagine a clock, and if you’re standing in the middle, turning left is like moving from 12 to 9.
In stories, the word left can also mean something is not there anymore. Like if you had a cookie and then you ate it, you could say the cookie left your plate. It’s a way to say something went away or isn’t there anymore.
So, left can be about your hand, the direction you go, or when something is gone. Isn’t it fun how one word can mean so many things?
