What does Jumping really mean?

Hey there! So, "jumping" is when you use your legs to push off the ground and propel yourself into the air. It's like when you're playing hopscotch or skipping rope and you use your legs to jump up and down. Imagine like you're a spring, bending your legs and then releasing them to bound off the ground.

Jumping can also mean moving suddenly and quickly from one place to another. Like when you're really excited and you "jump for joy," or when you're startled and you "jump out of your skin."

So, "jumping" has two meanings - one is the physical act of pushing off the ground with your legs to go into the air, and the other is the sudden, quick movement from one place to another. And that's jumping in a nutshell! Cool, right?
