Single Refer People Word Talking Ball Song Room

When people refer to "singles," they're usually talking about unmarried people, or people who are not involved in a romantic relationship. But in different "contexts" (situations), the same word can have very different meanings.

In sports, for example, "singles" can refer to people who compete on their own against another individual, such as tennis or ice skating. "Doubles" in those sports refers to "pairs" (groups of two people) who are competing against other pairs.

In baseball, a "single" refers to the act of hitting the ball and successfully running to "first base" (the first place a hitter may go to and stop safely) without being "thrown out" (forced to leave the field because one's ball was caught or because one was touched by someone on the other team holding the ball).

When talking about money, a "single" is a one-dollar "bill" (paper money) rather than a larger "denomination" (the value shown on a coin, bill, or stamp). A person who needs "change" (smaller bills or coins) might ask someone if he or she has five singles and offer to "trade" (exchange) them for a five-dollar bill.

In the music industry, a "single" is an individual song "as opposed to" (contrasted against) an "album" (a collection of songs released at a single time and sold together). A "hit single" is a song that makes a singer or a musical group very popular, especially if their other songs are less well-known and less popular.

Finally, when "booking a room" (making a reservation) at a hotel, a "single" can refer to a room with one small bed for one person, and a "double" can refer to a room with two beds for two people.
