Connive for Dummies

Connive is a word that can seem a little bit tricky, but I'm here to break it down for you and make it easy to understand. So, when we say someone connives, what do we mean? Well, it means that they are secretly planning or scheming to do something, usually something that is not right or fair.

Let me give you an example to help you understand better. Imagine you and your friend are playing a game, and you both agreed to follow the rules. But, uh-oh, your friend starts to connive because he wants to win so badly that he starts making up his own rules and trying to deceive you. He's secretly planning and scheming to gain an unfair advantage. That's conniving!

Now, it's important to note that conniving doesn't always have to be a bad thing, although it usually is. Sometimes, people connive to organize a surprise party for a loved one. They secretly plan and scheme to make sure everything goes smoothly without the person knowing about it. That's a conniving in a good way!

So, to sum it up, when we say someone connives, it means they are secretly planning or scheming to do something, usually something that is not fair or right. It's like when your friend breaks the rules of a game or when people plan a surprise party without letting the person know. Just be careful not to get caught up in any conniving, okay?
