Sold for Dummies

Sold means that something has been bought by someone else. It's like when you have a toy that you really like, but then someone else wants it too and they give you some money or something else you want in return for the toy. When this happens, you can say that you "sold" the toy to that person.

Let me explain it with an example. Imagine you have a delicious piece of cake that you made at home. It's your favorite cake, and you are so proud of it. Now, let's say that your friend comes over and they see the cake. Your friend really wants to eat it because they love cakes too. However, you are not willing to share it for free because you put a lot of effort and ingredients into making it. So, your friend offers you some money to buy the slice of cake from you. If you say "yes" and take the money, then you have "sold" the cake to your friend.

"Sold" can also be used when talking about houses or buildings. When someone wants to live in a new house, they have to find a house that they really like. Once they find one that fits their needs and they want to make it their home, they have to buy it from the person who owns it. So, if the person who owns the house agrees to sell it to them and they make a deal where money is exchanged, then the house is considered "sold."

So, to sum it up, "sold" means when something is bought by someone else after an agreement or deal is made. It can be used to talk about toys, cakes, or even houses. It's like saying goodbye to something you had and giving it to someone else in exchange for something that you want, like money or another item.
