Phrase | pattern |
Text | The word "pattern," in this podcast, means the way that something happens repeatedly over time: "Her behavior is a pattern of extreme happiness followed by depression, and then happiness again." Or, "Many college students get into a pattern of sleeping only 3-4 hours during the week, but then sleeping all day on Saturday." Another meaning of "pattern" is the repeating shapes or colors in a design: "I really like the pattern on your shirt!" Or, "The pattern on this carpet makes me dizzy." When we talk about making something, a "pattern" is the instructions or the shape that we follow: "This is a beautiful jacket pattern, but I think it's too difficult for me to make." Or, "Do you have any patterns for making baby blankets?" |
