Phrase | to shape |
Text | The verb "to shape," in this podcast, means to influence something, usually as it is being developed: "Listening to classic rock when he was a child helped shape the way he writes music today." We can use the verb "to shape" to mean to form something physically: "Let's shape these cookies to look like Dr. Jeff McQuillan's head!" Or, "Can you teach me how to shape this clay into a vase?" As a noun, "shape" can be used to mean something that is difficult to see or to identify clearly: "Did you see that shape in the sky last night? I think it was a big bird." Or, "I couldn't tell the police what the robber looked like because I only saw his shape in the distance." |
