Explanation
“Die” usually means to stop living. It happens when a person, animal, or plant’s life ends. For example, a flower dies when it doesn’t get water, or a pet may die from old age. It is a natural part of life. Apart from this, “die” can also be a noun in special cases, meaning a tool used for shaping things or a cube used in games (plural: dice). However, most people use “die” as a verb for the end of life.
