🇬🇧 Bleeding meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

Bleeding is the process of losing blood from your body, usually when you get a cut, scrape, or injury. When your skin opens, the red liquid called blood can come out, and that is called bleeding. Most small bleeding stops on its own or with help from an adult, like by pressing a clean cloth on it. Bleeding is your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something hurt me!” so you can clean it, cover it, and keep it safe while it heals.
