Through can mean lots of things and be used in lots of different contexts! Let’s look at some common uses.

Meaning number one. Through can mean from one side or end of something to the other. This is about place or a physical space.

We pushed through the crowd to get to the front.

Meaning number two. Through can mean from the beginning to the end of a period. This is about time.

We sang and danced through the whole concert.

Meaning number three. Through can be similar in meaning to ‘using’ .

We were lucky to get last-minute tickets through a friend.

And meaning number four. Through can also mean ‘finished’ or ‘completed’.

We were exhausted but happy when the concert was through!

And we, too, are through with this lesson.
