There used to be a can in every home. A very convenient thing, by the way. And to transfer something liquid, and oil can be stored (vegetable). And at the worst, and some croup.
Now cans have become rare. It is rare for anyone to see such a thing on the farm. A can is a very useful thing. Let's talk about this topic below.
Meaning of the word
If we turn to the dictionary, we find the following: a can is a container for transporting liquids. It happens in different volumes. Closed by a lid.
So, the concept of "can" we remembered (or found out). It remains to add that it can be with several handles or with one. A prerequisite is the presence of a cover.
Using
If we figured out the meaning of the word "can", now let's talk about why this thing is needed.
From the point of view of the Soviet mistresses, this is an irreplaceable thing. Plastic bottles used to be tense, or rather, they weren’t at all. And milk was sold for a spill. Here the question is brewing: what is it to carry?
The can is a kind of "bottle". Of course, we exaggerate. For lack of a bottle, they used this item. Convenient, actually. The can is a reusable inventory.
How to carry milk in it? Take a look at the photo to have a more accurate idea of what the can looks like. This is a jar with a lid. Moreover, the lid simply closed without fixing. And a handle is attached to the neck.
Going with a full can of milk is not so easy. You can’t rush, you risk not delivering the milk in full. In this case, one must look under the feet. You will not notice a small stone on the road, and you are already flying nose down. You lie flat on the pavement, a can lying nearby. And then a milk puddle spreads. Pleasant is not enough, we admit honestly. You will receive at home for spilled milk, and for broken knees. So the can is a tricky thing. It seems to be with a lid, but there is not so much benefit from it.
What else is it for?
The can is used not only as a "transport" for milk. For industrial purposes, it is used for transporting fuel, for example. In this case, the can is a large-sized container with a tight lid that closes securely. Which prevents the spill of fuel in the event of a fall of the can.
Morpheme parsing
A can is a container for transferring fluid. We decided on the concept. And if so, then we will deal with the morphemic composition of this word.
In fact, there’s nothing special to deal with.
- "Can" is the root.
- The ending is zero.
- The basis of the word is "can."
We make offers
We will help students and make sentences with this "old" word. To antiquity in the generally accepted sense, it does not matter, of course. But for modern children, most likely, a can is, as for the older generation, objects of pre-revolutionary Russia.
- The boy ran around the yard, brandishing an empty can.
- Workers checked the lid on the can. She was snug.
- Cans were delivered to the store: yellow, white and blue.
Conclusion
What good fellows we are. With the concept of the word "can" sorted out. They talked about his mission. Morphemic analysis did not pass by. Also, the proposals were made. Now we can be sure: a can is not a subject of modern interior, replacing a vase (there is such a thing, though rarely).
