Explanation
A finger is one of the five long parts on your hand used for touching, holding, or pointing. For example, the little baby held my finger tightly. People write, type, and hold objects with fingers. Fingers also have nails. In daily life, fingers help you do small tasks like picking up things or pointing at objects. Some expressions use the word finger, like “point the finger” (to blame someone) or “keep a finger on the pulse” (to stay informed).
