Explanation
“Beyond” means something is farther away, past a certain point, or outside the limits of somethingâwhether it’s a place, time, feeling, or ability. For example, if something is beyond the mountain, it is on the other side. If something is beyond your understanding, it means itâs too difficult to understand. We also use “beyond” to talk about time, like beyond 2025, or limits, like beyond control. It shows that something goes further than expected, allowed, or possible. It can be used both in a real way (location) or an abstract way (feelings, thoughts, ability).
