Capful for Dummies

Alright, so "capful" is a pretty easy word to understand. You know when you have a bottle of something like medicine or maybe even laundry detergent, and you have to pour it out of the bottle? Well, the capful is just the amount of liquid that fits inside the cap of the bottle. It's like the little bit of the liquid that the cap can hold. So when the instructions say "take one capful of medicine," it just means to fill the cap with the liquid and then take that amount.

The word "capful" can also be used in a more general sense to mean a small amount of something that a cap could hold. For example, if you're at the beach and you scoop up a capful of sand, you're just scooping up a small amount of sand that would fit inside a cap.

So, to sum it up, "capful" just refers to the amount of liquid or substance that can fit inside a cap, whether it's for measuring or just to give an idea of a small amount. It's like if you had a tiny cup, and you filled it up with something, that would be like a capful. Does that make sense?
