Steep for Dummies

Steep is a word that we use to describe something that has a very high angle or inclination. Now, when I say inclination, I mean that it's like when you're climbing up a really steep hill, and you have to tilt your body forward to keep from falling backwards. Imagine trying to climb a mountain that is almost standing straight up! That would be really difficult, right? Well, that's what steep means. It's like saying that something is very, very steep, like a roller coaster that drops down really quickly and gives you that feeling in your tummy. So, if you have to climb up a hill and it feels like you're almost walking straight up, that means it's steep.

But wait, there's more! Steep can also mean something that is very expensive or costs a lot of money. It's kind of like when you go to a store and you see a toy that you really, really want, but it costs way more than your allowance. It's so expensive that you would have to save up for a really long time just to be able to get it. That's what we mean by saying something is steep when it comes to price.

So, to sum it all up, steep means that something is at a very high angle or inclination, like a super steep hill or a roller coaster drop. And it can also describe something that is very expensive or costs a lot of money, like that really awesome toy that makes your eyes light up but is way out of your price range.
