Explanation
Boy means a young male human, usually a child or teenager who is not yet an adult. Boys are often students, friends, or siblings. The word is used to talk about males before they grow into men. Boys can play, learn, and grow just like girls, but the word specifically refers to males. It’s commonly used in everyday life, family, school, and when talking about children or young males.
