BAG vs. HANDBAG: meaning and examples
Good morning,
Yesterday we talked about the word WALLET. Most men carry their money and cards in a wallet. Women also carry WALLETS but they often put them inside a HANDBAG. Let's look at this word.
Today's words are: BAG vs. HANDBAG
Meaning of BAG: Any flexible container with an opening at the top. There are many kinds of bags and they are usually made of plastic or fabric.
Meaning of HANDBAG: A bag used by a woman to carry personal objects. Handbags are usually made of leather (real or imitation) or fabric.
Example 1:
I take a reusable cloth bag when I go to the supermarket. I try to avoid buying plastic bags.
Example 2:
Derek: What exactly are you carrying in your handbag, Emma? It's awfully heavy!
Emma: I only put the most essential stuff in my handbag, Derek. Stuff I can't live without like my wallet, a book, my make-up, a hairbrush, my mobile phone, a small, folding cloth shopping bag...
Enjoy the rest of your day!
