Phrase | instrument |
Text | In this podcast, the word "instrument" describes the things or objects that musicians use and play on to make music: "The musical instruments played by professional musicians are usually handmade and very expensive." We use the term "musical instruments" to talk more formally about these objects and "instruments" for short in speaking of them informally. The word can also be used to mean tools that people use to do a job: "It's important for the doctor's instruments to be clean." Or, "Scientists use a lot of different instruments to try to predict the weather." |
