Explanation
Ice is frozen water; it becomes hard and cold when water freezes. Ice is slippery, so people must walk carefully when it covers the ground. People use ice to keep drinks cold, help with injuries, or make desserts (sweet dishes). As a verb, it can also mean to cover something with sweet, creamy layer, like she iced the cookies with chocolate to make them look nice. It can also mean to put ice on something to make it cold or reduce pain, like she iced the drinks before the guests arrived, or he iced his sore knee after playing football.
