Explanation
To pour means to make a liquid flow from one container to another place or surface. This action is usually done slowly and carefully so the liquid does not spill. People pour water into a glass, milk into a bowl, or tea into a cup. The word pour can also be used in a wider sense to describe something flowing in large amounts, such as rain falling heavily or emotions coming out strongly. The main idea of pour is steady and continuous movement.
