Episode Title | Having an Overbearing Father |
Phrase | grown |
Text | The word "grown," in this podcast, is used to talk about adults or people who are no longer children: "You'll understand all of this better once you're grown." Or, "Does it make you uncomfortable to see a grown man cry?" People also use the word "grown" to talk about their adult children: "Lex has two grown daughters, but neither one is married yet." An animal or plant that is "full-grown" has reached its maximum size and will not get any bigger: "Many people think her tiny dog is a puppy, but they don't realize it's already full-grown." The phrase "grown-up" is used by children to talk about adults: "Why do grown-ups spend so much time talking about politics?" Finally, the word "grown" can also mean increased: "Why have sales grown so much in the past two years?" |
