Let's learn current.

As an adjective, current relates to time. It means related to the present, relevant now or up to date.

We need to reflect current trends.

This is our current plan, but it might change.

 

As a noun, current describes steady, continual

movement: we often use it with water, air and electricity.

Don't swim there the current is too strong!

Pilots have to learn about air currents.

The electrical current flows around the circuit.

 

Another way that current is used as a noun is to refer to feelings and opinion

when they are held by a lot of people together.

These writers all reflect the same current of thought.

As the band stepped on to the stage a current of excitement went through the crowd.

 

So, current is all about movement whether that's time, water, air, electricity or feelings.

Stay with us and we'll make sure your English stays current!
