What is Context? (5 Key Types)?

Context is like the background story that helps you understand what’s going on, just like when your friend whispers a secret to you before class starts.

Context gives clues about who, where, when, and why something happens. It's like having a map or a hint so you don’t get lost in the middle of a story.

Imagine you’re playing with blocks, and your brother says, “I’m building a tower.” That’s one kind of context, it tells you what he’s doing.

Now, if he says, “I’m building a tower to reach the cookie jar,” that adds more context, now you know why he’s building it!

There are 5 key types of context:

1. Who, like knowing it's your brother talking.
2. Where, like knowing he's in the kitchen.
3. When, like knowing it's after lunchtime.
4. Why, like knowing he wants cookies.
5. How, like knowing he’s using big, red blocks.

Each kind of context helps you understand better, just like having more clues to solve a puzzle!
