In the English language, the word “pour” typically means:

• VERB: to take a liquid from one location and put it in another location

Since this verb refers to a liquid (anything that is not solid in form), a type of liquid must be used with this verb.

EXAMPLES:

1. “In order to stay properly hydrated, I make sure to pour myself at least eight cups of water every day.”

2. “Would you like me to pour you some more coffee?”

   “Yes, please! That would be great. Thank you.”

3. “Wow! This is one fancy party! Are those champagne fountains!? Do we just fill up our glasses there? No need to pour our drinks from the bottle? Okay, then…!”

4. “Locals watched in horror as lava poured from the volcano down the mountain towards their homes.”

5. “I do not want to go outside–it’s pouring rain out!”
