suspect
A suspect is like when you think someone might have taken your favorite toy, but you’re not sure. It’s like when you see cookie crumbs on the floor and you think your puppy might have eaten your cookie. You don’t know for sure, but you have a feeling.
Imagine you’re playing detective. You have a magnifying glass and you’re looking for clues. You find a footprint near the cookie jar. You think it might be your brother because he loves cookies, but you need more clues. Being a suspect means someone thinks you might have done something, but they need to find out more to know for sure.
Think of it like a mystery story. There are lots of characters, and one of them might have done something sneaky. A suspect is one of those characters. They might have a secret, and you have to use your detective skills to figure it out. It’s like solving a puzzle where you need to find all the pieces to see the whole picture.
So, being a suspect doesn’t mean you did something wrong. It means people are trying to figure out if you did, just like figuring out who ate the last cookie!
