I’m going to teach you some meanings of the word draw. The most common use is the verb form that means creating a picture or image.

My cousin drew our family using different coloured pencils.

We can also use the verb draw to mean attracting attention - someone wanting to look at something. For example:

The amazing singer drew a huge audience.

Draw as a noun is used to describe competition results that are equal, like 1:1 or 2:2. For example:

The football match ended in a draw – it was 1:1.

So, you can draw art, draw attention and draw in a competition result. I hope our videos will keep drawing you in for more English lessons!
