Fare for Dummies

Sure, no problem! So, the word "fare" can mean a few different things depending on how it's used. One way we use the word "fare" is to talk about how someone or something is doing, like when we say "How did you fare on your test?" It's like asking how something turned out. Besides that, "fare" also refers to the money you pay for a ride on a bus, train, or plane. You might hear someone say "What's the fare for this bus ride?" And in a more old-fashioned sense, "fare" can mean the food and drinks that are available on a transportation vehicle or at a specific event.

Let me explain a bit further: when we use "fare" to talk about how someone or something is doing, it's like asking about the result of something. So if I asked you "How did you fare on your test?" I'm actually asking how you did on the test, whether you did well or not. It's a way of finding out what happened. And when we talk about "fare" as the money you pay for a ride, it's like the price of the transportation. Think of it as the ticket price for a ride on the bus or train. Lastly, when we talk about "fare" as the food and drinks available, it's like what's being offered for you to eat or drink during your travel or at an event - like the snacks and meals on a plane or at a concert.

So "fare" can mean a few different things, but it's basically about how something has turned out, the cost of transportation, or the food and drinks available during travel or at an event. I hope that clears things up! Let me know if you have any more questions.
