Text | In this podcast, the word "active" means with a lot of physical movement, not just sitting or standing in one place: "Basketball is much more active than baseball, because baseball players spend a lot of their time standing in one place." The word "active" also means involved in something: "As a college student, Marcellus was very active in student government." The phrase "active participation" is used to describe heavy involvement in something: "We really appreciate the active participation of all our volunteers." The word "active" can sometimes mean current, describing something that is happening at the moment: "Marlys was an active donor for years, but then she suddenly stopped sending donations." Finally, an "active volcano" is a volcano that might explode anytime: "Is Mount Rainier an active volcano?" |
