Banks for Dummies

Alright, so "banks" can mean different things depending on the context. But in general, when we talk about banks, we are usually referring to a place where we can keep our money safe and also borrow money if we need it. It's kind of like a safe place for our money. Just like how you might keep your toys in a toy box to keep them organized and safe, people keep their money in banks to keep it safe and organized.

Banks can also be the land alongside a river or a body of water. You know how when you go to the beach, there's the sand and then the part where the water comes up to? That line where the water meets the land is called a bank.

And even in a different sense, "banks" can also be a term used for the sides of a road. You might see signs that say "No parking on the left bank" or "Stay off the right bank" and in that case, they're talking about the sides of the road.

So, "banks" can mean a few different things, but the main idea is that it's a place to keep things safe, whether it's money, land, or the sides of a road. Does that make sense?
