Besides for Dummies

Hey there! So, the word "besides" can mean a few different things, so let's break it down. When someone says "besides," they're usually talking about things that are in addition to something else. It's kind of like saying "also" or "in addition to."

So, for example, let's say you're talking about your favorite food. You might say "I love pizza, and besides that, I also love ice cream." This means that you love both pizza and ice cream, and they're both your favorite foods. It's like saying "not only this, but also that."

Another way to think about it is like when you're making a list. You might say "I need to buy groceries, besides milk, I also need bread and eggs." This means that in addition to milk, you also need to get bread and eggs. It's like adding more items to the list.

So, "besides" is a word that tells us there's something more to consider or include, like an added bonus. It's like when you go to a buffet and you get to choose a main meal, and besides that, you also get to pick some yummy desserts. It's all about having extra options and possibilities.

I hope that makes sense! If you have any more questions or need more examples, feel free to ask. Learning new words can be tricky, but remember, you're doing great! Keep it up!
