Explanation
Online means being connected to the internet. When something is online, it can be accessed using a computer, phone, or other digital device. People shop online, study online, and talk to others online through messages or video calls. The word also describes activities that happen on websites or apps instead of physical places. Online services make it easier to learn, work, and communicate from anywhere. However, people should also be careful about privacy and safety while being online.
