June 7, 2011 - Word of the Day: water

You probably know this word as a noun, but do you know how to use it as a verb? The verb "water" means to provide water or produce water:

• She's watering her garden.
• You need to water your plants.
• The restaurant is watering down its drinks. (Not good. This means they are adding water to drinks in order to save money.)
• My mouth waters whenever I think about eating Indian food. Yumm! (The mouth produces saliva when your brain considers delicious food.)
• My eyes are watering because of all the smoke in here.
