What does Follower really mean?

Hey there! So, today we're going to talk about a word that you might have heard before - "follower." Now, when we talk about a follower, we're not talking about someone who's just walking behind someone else. Although, in a way, that's kind of true too! Let me explain.

So, imagine you have a favorite singer or a famous person that you really like. You know how you listen to their songs or watch their movies, and you really admire them? Well, in that case, you can be called their "follower." It means that you support them and pay attention to what they're doing. You may even try to imitate them or their style. It's like being a fan, but a little bit more. It's someone who really looks up to another person and tries to learn from them or follow their lead in some way. Make sense so far?

Now, here's another way to think about it. Imagine you're playing a game, like hide-and-seek. When someone is designated as "it" and they start searching for the others, the rest of the players are technically their "followers." They are following the person who is "it." They're not just following physically, but also following the game rules and playing according to what the person who is "it" says.

So, to sum it up, a follower can mean both someone who supports and looks up to another person or someone who is playing a game and follows the leader's instructions. It's like being a really dedicated fan or someone who sticks closely to what a leader says. I hope that clears things up for you! If you have any more questions or need further examples, just let me know. Learning new words can be tricky sometimes, but we'll get there together!
