All right! So, let's talk about "capacity." Think of capacity like the maximum amount of something that a container or a space can hold. It's like when you're filling up a glass with water - the capacity of the glass is how much water it can hold without spilling over. In other words, it's the limit of how much something can hold or contain.

But "capacity" can also mean something else. It can also refer to someone's ability to do something or to understand something. Like, if you have a capacity for learning, it means you have the ability to learn and understand new things. It's like the potential or the capability that you have inside you.

So, when we talk about "capacity," we can be talking about the amount that a space or container can hold, or we can be talking about someone's ability to do or understand something. It's kind of a versatile word that way!

I hope that helps you understand the word "capacity" a little better. Remember, it's all about how much something can hold, or it's about someone's potential or ability. Let me know if you still have questions about it!
