Explanation
Someone who is active does things, moves around a lot, and stays busy. Active people may enjoy sports, exercise, or helping with tasks. The word can also mean being involved in something — like an active member of a club or group. Being active is the opposite of being lazy or not doing anything. It also means your body or brain is working or moving, not just sitting still.
