Explanation
Pace refers to the speed at which someone walks, runs, or moves, or how quickly something happens. It can also mean how fast or slow work, life, or activities move forward. For example, if a person walks at a fast pace, they are moving quickly. Pace is also used to talk about progress in work, projects, events, or life, showing whether things are moving slowly or quickly, as in the pace of the project increased as the deadline came closer. As a verb, pace means to walk back and forth, usually because someone is thinking, nervous, or waiting, or to control how fast something happens. For example, she paced the room while waiting for the phone call, or the teacher paced the lesson to match the students’ understanding.
