Entitle for Dummies

Hey there! So, the word "entitle" can mean a couple of different things, and I'll break it down for you in a way that's easy to understand. When we say someone is "entitled to something," it means they have the right to that thing. For example, you are entitled to a fair education, just like every other student.

Another way to think about "entitle" is like a ticket to a movie theater. When you buy a ticket, you are entitled to see the movie because you paid for it. In the same way, when someone is entitled to something, it means they have earned or deserve it in some way.

For instance, if you win a competition, you might be entitled to a prize because you worked hard and earned it. So, in simple terms, being entitled means having the right to something, or deserving something because you earned it.

It's like when you follow all the rules in a game and then you win - you feel entitled to that victory because you played fair and earned it. I hope that helps you understand what "entitle" means!
