🇬🇧 Dark meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

“Dark” is a word we use for the time or place where there is no light, or almost no light. When it is dark, you can’t see clearly because there isn’t enough light for your eyes. Dark can happen at night when the sun is gone, or in a room where the lights are turned off, like inside a closet with the door shut.
