Carriage for Dummies

Alright, so the word "carriage" can mean a few different things. First off, it can refer to a vehicle with four wheels, usually pulled by horses, that people used to travel in a long time ago. Kind of like those fancy old-timey horse-drawn carriages you might see in movies or at special events. It's like a really fancy, old-fashioned taxi, but with horses instead of a motor.

But "carriage" can also mean the way a person holds and carries themselves, like their posture or how they walk. You might hear people say things like "She has such a graceful carriage" to compliment someone on the way they move and carry themselves.

So, when we talk about "carriage," we could be talking about a fancy old-timey vehicle or the way a person moves and holds themselves. It's kind of like having a good posture and walking with your head held high, like you're a prince or princess riding in a regal carriage. Got it?
