Explanation

Million is a very large number that equals 1,000,000. People use it when talking about things like money, population, distance, or amounts. It means one thousand thousands. When we talk about the number by itself, it is a noun. For example, “A million is a big number”. When we use it before another noun, it works like an adjective to show how many things there are, such as a million people, a million coins, or a million stars. People also use “a million” to express that something feels like a lot; for example, I’ve told you a million times! (Here you don’t say “million times” for real; it’s just a way to show strong feeling).
