What does Extensive really mean?

Sure, I'd be happy to explain the word "extensive" to you! "Extensive" basically means something that covers a large area or has a great amount of something. For example, if you have an extensive collection of something, it means you have a lot of it. Or if a project requires extensive research, it means you have to do a lot of research for it. It's like when you have a big, wide field to run around in, instead of just a small patch of grass.

So, when we talk about something being extensive, it's like saying it's really big, wide, or covers a lot of ground. It's kind of like when you spread out a big picnic blanket and have plenty of space to move around and enjoy the sunshine. It's not just a little area; it's a vast, extensive space. I hope that helps you understand what "extensive" means!
