What does INSIDE mean in Scrabble?
preposition
In or into the interior part of something, rather than outside it.
Inside places one thing within the boundaries of another, whether that is a building, a container, a period of time, or even a feeling, and English uses it constantly for both physical and figurative containment. It works as a preposition, as in step inside the house, but also as a noun for the interior itself, an adjective for something belonging within, and an adverb for movement toward the interior. Because it covers so many related senses, inside is one of the most frequently used small words in the language.
How INSIDE is used
Extremely common in everyday speech, used for physical space, time limits, and figurative containment alike.
- They hurried inside the house before the storm broke.
