Explanation
“Along” is used when someone or something is moving in a straight line, usually following the side of something like a road, river, or path. For example, if you walk along a street, you walk beside or down the street. It also means “with someone” or “together” — like taking someone along with you. It can also refer to the process of moving forward in time or progress. This word helps us understand direction, location, or company during an action.
