Earlier there was a can in every house. A very handy item, by the way. And something liquid can be transferred, and oil can be stored (vegetable). And at worst, some cereal.
Now cans have become rarities. It is rare to find such a thing in the household. The can is a very useful item. Let's talk about this topic below.
Meaning of the word
If we turn to the dictionary, we will find the following: a can is a container for transporting liquids. There are different sizes. Closes with a lid.
So, we remembered the concept of "can" (or found out). It remains to be added that it can be with several handles or with one. A prerequisite is the presence of a cover.
Use
If we figured out the meaning of the word "can", now let's talk about what this thing is for.
From the point of view of Soviet housewives, this thing is irreplaceable. Previously, plastic bottles were tense, or rather, they did not exist at all. And milk was sold on tap. Here the question is brewing: what to carry it in?
The can is a kind of"bottle". Of course, we exaggerate. In the absence of bottles, they used this item. Convenient, actually. The can is a reusable inventory.
How to carry milk in it? Take a look at the photo for a better idea of what the can looks like. This is a container with a lid. And the lid just closed without fixing anything. And a handle is attached to the neck.
It's not easy to walk with a full can of milk. You can’t rush, you risk not bringing the milk in full. At the same time, you need to look under your feet. You will not notice a small stone on the road, and you are already flying nose down. You lie flat on the pavement yourself, a can is lying nearby. And then the milk puddle spreads. Not much fun, to be honest. At home you will get both for spilled milk and for broken knees. So the can is a tricky thing. It seems to have 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 to transport fuel, for example. In this case, the can is a large container with a tight lid that closes securely. This prevents spillage of fuel in the event of a can fall.
Morphemic parsing
Can is a container for transferring liquid. We have defined the concept. And if so, then let's deal with the morphemic composition of this word.
Actually, there's really nothing to deal with.
- "Can" is the root.
- End zero.
- The basis of the word is "can".
Composing sentences
Let's help students and make sentences with this "old" word. By antiquity in the generally accepted sense, it does not matter, of course. But for modern children, most likely, a can is like objects of pre-revolutionary Russia for the older generation.
- The boy was running around the yard, waving an empty can.
- Workers checked the lid on the can. It didn't fit snugly.
- Cans were brought to the store: yellow, white and blue.
Conclusion
What good fellows we are. With the concept of the word "can" sorted out. We talked about its purpose. Morphemic analysis was not bypassed. Also made suggestions. Now we can be sure: a can is not a modern interior item that replaces a vase (it also happens, though rarely).
