Explanation
Flood means a large amount of water covering land that is normally dry. It happens after heavy rain, melting snow, or a river overflowing. A flood can damage homes, roads, and farms. As a verb, “flood” means to fill or cover an area with water. For example, “The river flooded the village.” It can also mean to arrive or come in a very large amount, like emails flooded his inbox. The word can describe both real water disasters and situations where there’s too much of something coming at once.
