Earned for Dummies

Sure thing! So, when we talk about the word "earned," we're basically talking about receiving something as a result of hard work or effort. It's like when you spend a lot of time studying for a test and then you do really well on it. You earned that good grade because you worked hard for it.

Another way to think about it is like when you complete a task or a job, and then you get something in return. For example, when you do your chores around the house, you might earn an allowance from your parents.

But it's not just about getting something in return for work. It's also about deserving what you have received. You can earn someone's trust by being honest and reliable, or earn a reputation by consistently doing good things.

So, in a nutshell, "earned" means that you've worked for something and you've received it as a result of your effort or deserving it. It's all about putting in the work and then reaping the rewards. Does that make sense to you?
