of

The word ‘of’ is like a little bridge that connects things together. Imagine you have a box of crayons. The word ‘of’ tells us that the crayons are inside the box. It’s like a special glue that sticks the box and the crayons together in our sentence.
In another way, think about a friend of yours. Here, ‘of’ tells us that the friend belongs to you, just like how your toys belong to you. It shows a special relationship between you and your friend.
Picture a slice of cake. The word ‘of’ helps us understand that the slice comes from the whole cake. It’s like a magic word that tells us where things come from or what they are a part of.
When we say ‘a piece of paper’, the word ‘of’ is telling us that the piece is part of the bigger paper. It’s like a tiny helper that shows how things are connected, so we know what belongs to what or where things come from.
