THROUGHOUT

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone, depending on when you are reading this lesson. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you had a pleasant weekend.

One of our readers has asked us to define the word throughout.

Today's word is: throughout (pronunciation --> thru-OUT)

Meaning 1: something that happens or exists in every part of a place.

Example 1: There were demonstrations (manifestaciones) against the war throughout the country.

Example 2: Alex is an art collector. He has hung beautiful paintings throughout his house.

Meaning 2: something that happens during all of a period of time or an event.

Example 3: He slept throughout the meeting. He was either very tired or the meeting was very boring!

Example 4: My grandmother has had many interesting experiences throughout her life.

To get some writing practice, I encourage all of you to write your own sentence with both uses of this word. You can post your sentences on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Bluesky) and will give you feedback as soon as we can.

Have a nice day!
