What does Fixed really mean?

Hey there! So, when we talk about something being "fixed," we mean that it's set or repaired in place. Have you ever had a toy break and then someone fixes it so you can play with it again? That's kind of like the idea of something being fixed. It means that it was broken or not working, and now it's all good and ready to be used again.

But "fixed" can also mean that something is set and can't be changed. Like if you have a schedule for the day, and it's fixed, that means it's set and you can't change it. Or if you have a problem with your computer, and the IT person fixes it, it means they solve the problem and now it's working again.

So, when something is fixed, it's either repaired or set in place and can't be changed. It's kind of like when you build a puzzle and all the pieces fit perfectly together, they're fixed in their places. That's the idea of something being fixed.

I hope that makes sense! Do you see how "fixed" can have different meanings depending on the situation? It's like a word that wears different hats depending on where it shows up.
