Explanation

Credit has several uses. In money, it means borrowing with a promise to pay later (like using a credit card). In education or work, it means recognition or praise given to someone for their effort. In film or books, “credits” show the people involved. The word is common in daily life, business, and education. For example, if you buy something “on credit,” you pay later. If you “give credit,” you recognise someone’s contribution. As a verb, it means to acknowledge, recognise, or attribute something to someone, like “The teacher credited her for the project’s success”.
