What is advance?

An advance is when you get something before you've earned it, like getting a toy before you finish your homework.

Imagine you have a piggy bank where you save coins every day after school. That's like working hard to earn money little by little. But if someone gives you a big pile of coins without you doing anything, that’s an advance, it's like getting a head start in the game.

Think of it like this: You're racing with your friend to see who can run around the block first. If you suddenly got a little push at the beginning of the race, that would help you win faster. That push is like an advance, it helps you get ahead without having to work as hard.

Sometimes grown-ups get advances too. For example, if your mom has a job and gets paid every month, but she gets some money before the month is over, that’s an advance. It's like getting part of her paycheck early so she can buy more toys for you! An advance is when you get something before you've earned it, like getting a toy before you finish your homework.
