Hey there! So, "mislead" means to give someone the wrong idea or information about something. It's like when you tell someone something that's not true, and they believe you because they trust you. It can be on purpose, like if someone is trying to trick you, or it can be by accident if someone just doesn't realize they're not giving you the right information.

Like, think about if someone tells you that the sky is green instead of blue. If you believe them, they've misled you. Or if someone promises you a big reward if you do something for them, but then they don't follow through, they've also misled you.

It's a word that's related to trust and truth, so it's important to be careful to not mislead others, and also to be aware if someone might be trying to mislead you. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any questions!
