Good morning everyone!

One of the joys of learning English is

learning that we have words that not only have different meanings but can also have complete opposite meanings - for example the word “dust”.

Meaning #1: To add small particles to a surface.
Ex: I like to “dust” my pizza crust with just a little bit of seasoning before I put on the pizza sauce

Meaning #2: To remove small particles from a surface
Ex: I reminded my brother to dust his piano because it looked dirty

Did you know that “dust” is also a noun meaning small dry particles that are carried through the air and build up on surfaces?

Hope you guys found this helpful! Thanks guys!
