Bank for Dummies

Alright, so let's talk about the word "bank." No, I'm not talking about the kind of bank where you keep your money, though that's part of it. When we talk about "bank" in the context of money, we're talking about a place where you can deposit your money, withdraw it, and do other things with it. But that's not the only meaning of the word "bank."

The word "bank" can also refer to the sloping land beside a body of water, like a river or a lake. You know how when you go to the beach, there's that sloping edge where the water meets the sand? That's kind of like a bank, but for a body of water. It's like a natural edge that separates the water from the land.

So, when we use the word "bank," it can mean a couple of different things. It can be a place where you do your banking stuff, like depositing and withdrawing money. And it can also refer to the sloping land beside a body of water, like a river or a lake.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions.
