Occupy is when you take up space or use something. Think of it like when you sit in your favorite chair. You are ‘occupying’ that chair because you are using it and no one else can sit there until you move. It’s like when your toy car is parked in a spot. It ‘occupies’ that space, meaning the space is being used by the car.
Another way to think about it is when you are playing in the sandbox. If you are building a sandcastle, you are ‘occupying’ that part of the sandbox. The sand is being used by you to make something special.
When you draw a picture on a piece of paper, you ‘occupy’ the paper with your drawing. The paper is no longer blank because your art is filling up the space.
So, ‘occupy’ means to take up space or use something, like sitting in a chair, parking a toy car, playing in the sandbox, or drawing on paper. It’s all about using and filling space in different ways.
