Hey there!

I'm so glad you asked about the word "abnormally." It's totally normal to come across words that seem a little tricky at first, but don't worry, I'm here to help you understand it!

So, when we say something is "abnormally," what it means is that it's not normal or usual. It's kind of like when you see a purple cow in a field; cows are usually black and white, so a purple cow would be considered "abnormally" colored.

Let me give you another example to make it even clearer. Imagine you and your friends are playing a game of hide-and-seek. You all know the rules, right? You have to find a good spot and stay quiet until someone finds you. Well, let's say one of your friends decides to climb up a tree and hide there. That would be considered an "abnormal" hiding spot because most people don't hide in trees while playing hide-and-seek.

But wait, there's more to it! Sometimes, "abnormally" can also mean that something is happening in a way that's different from what is considered healthy or natural. For example, if someone's body temperature is "abnormally" high, it means that their temperature is much higher than what is normally expected. Or if someone's heartbeat is "abnormally" fast, it means their heart is beating faster than what is usual or healthy.

So, "abnormally" can mean something is not normal or usual, or it can refer to something happening in a way that's different from what is considered healthy or natural.

I hope that explanation helps you understand what "abnormally" means. Remember, it's all about things being different from what is normal or expected. Keep up the great work, and never hesitate to ask for help when you come across a new word!

Take care and keep shining,

Your friendly teacher
