Word of the Day: Believe
Today, I will start with a straightforward word: believe.
Believe means to think or accept something is true.
If you believe the evening news on TV, you mean that you accept what they say as the truth.
If I tell you I’m Canadian and you accept that as the truth, then you believe that I’m Canadian.
Now, this should be quite simple to understand.
During the week, however, I will introduce some other terms using believe that have different meanings.
Be sure to revisit the site in the upcoming days because I’ll explain make-believe, believe in (someone) and believe in (something).
