What does Char really mean?

Hey there! I'm here to help you understand the word "char." It's a little bit of a tricky word, but I know we can break it down together.

So, "char" has a few different meanings depending on how it's used. One way to use the word "char" is as a verb, meaning to burn something slightly so that it blackens but doesn't become completely ashes like when you accidentally let your toast sit in the toaster for too long. Imagine cooking marshmallows over a campfire and how they turn brown and crispy on the outside - that's a sort of "char." Another use of the word "char" is as a noun, which refers to that burned, blackened material that's left behind after something has been charred. Think of a piece of wood that has been burned to a crisp - that's a "char."

Does that make sense? I know it might seem a little confusing at first, but I believe in you! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. We'll figure this out together.
