Hello, readers! I hope your week is going well.
As you know, this month we are focusing on Halloween-related words, expressions, and phrasal verbs; today we are looking at a verb commonly used during October: TO CARVE.
Definition 1: to cut a hard material to make a design or object.
We use this verb when we talk about the designs we make on pumpkins.
Example 1: He carved a scary face on the pumpkin.
Example 2: We are carving pumpkins on Saturday.
Example 3: After we carved the pumpkins, we put them outside next to the front door.
There is another definition for the word CARVE, and it's related to food.
Definition 2: to cut cooked meat into slices so the meat can be served.
Example 4: He carved the turkey and then we ate.
This second definition is common for next month's US and Canadian holiday: Thanksgiving!
