Disturbing for Dummies

Hey there! So, today we're going to talk about the word "disturbing." I know sometimes words can feel a little tricky, so let's break it down and make sure we really understand it, okay?

Sometimes when we say something is "disturbing," we mean that it's kind of, well, unsettling or upsetting. It might make us feel a little uncomfortable or worried. For example, if we see a scary movie or read a scary story, it might leave us feeling disturbed – like we can't stop thinking about it and it's making us feel a little uneasy.

But "disturbing" can also mean something that interrupts or disrupts a situation. Like, if there's a loud noise that keeps interrupting our conversation, we could say it's disturbing us. It's getting in the way of what we were trying to do or causing a problem.

So, in a way, "disturbing" can mean something that bothers us or makes us feel worried, but it can also mean something that interrupts or disrupts what we're doing. It's like when you're trying to read a book and someone keeps talking to you – it's disturbing your reading time!

So, to sum it up, "disturbing" can mean something that makes us feel upset or uneasy, or something that gets in the way and interrupts what we're doing. I hope that makes sense!
