🇬🇧 Transaction meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

A transaction is what we call it when someone gives money and gets something in return, like a toy, food, or a ticket. It’s the whole process of trading, from the moment you say, “I’ll buy that,” to the moment the money and the item switch places. Transactions can happen with real coins and bills, with a card, or even with pretend money in a game. Any time something is bought, sold, or paid for, that buying or selling is a transaction.
