Hey there, kiddo! I see you're curious about the word "remaining." Well, let me explain it to you in a way that makes sense and is easy to understand. When we say something is remaining, it means that it is left or not used up yet. It's like when you have a plate of delicious cookies, and you've already eaten some, but there are still a few left on the plate. Those few cookies are what's remaining!

Now, let's dive a bit deeper and explore some different meanings of "remaining." Sometimes, it can also refer to the part that is left after something has been taken away. Imagine you have a big pizza, and you've already had a slice, but there are still four slices left. Those four slices are what's remaining after you've taken one.

But "remaining" can also be used to talk about time or duration. For example, let's say you have an hour to play outside, and you've already been outside for half an hour. The time that you have left to play, that's what's remaining. It's the time still available before your playtime is over.

Another way we use the word "remaining" is when we talk about people or things that haven't gone away or left a certain place. It's like when you're having a party, and some friends have already gone home, but a few of them are still here. Those friends who haven't left yet, they are the ones remaining.

So, to sum it all up, "remaining" means what is left or not used up, the part that is left after something is taken away, the time or duration that is still available, and the people or things that haven't gone away. It's all about what's still there or left over.

I hope you've understood what "remaining" means now! Feel free to ask me anything else if you need further clarification. Learning new words can be fun, and I'm here to help make it easier for you!
