I'm going to teach you 4 meanings of the verb 'charge'. First, it is used to show the amount of money that a business or seller asks for a product or service, and that the customer needs to pay.
Example
The museum charges £30 for a day ticket – it seems very expensive.
Second, ‘charge’ is used when the police formally accuse someone of a crime.
Example
He was charged for stealing from the company.
We can also use ‘charge’ to mean add power to a device with a low battery.
Example
I need to charge my phone before we leave. It's only got 10% left.
Finally, ‘charge’ is used to mean move forward quickly and violently and is often associated with animals.
Example
Don't walk in the field because the bull might charge.
Remember, we don’t charge you to learn with us – it's free!
