What does Eye really mean?

Hey there! Today, we're going to talk about the word "eye." When we talk about "eye," we're referring to the part of our body that allows us to see. It's the round, sensitive organ that sits in the socket of our face. When we look at things, our eyes take in the light and send messages to our brain so that we can understand what we're seeing.

But "eye" can also have a different meaning. It can be used to talk about the way someone looks at something, like when we say "I've got my eye on you" to mean that we are watching someone closely.

So, "eye" can mean the actual body part we use to see, as well as the act of looking at something or someone closely. It's a word that's used in lots of different ways, but they all have to do with seeing and paying attention.

Alright, so I hope that helped you understand what "eye" means! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
