🇬🇧🇪🇸 pet - mascota : English Lesson
noun
“Oops, the video you wanted took a vacation. Here’s a random one that didn’t!”
Meaning of "pet" ("mascota"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A pet is an animal that lives with you in your home because you care about it and enjoy being with it. You give your pet food, water, and love, and in return it keeps you company and can be your furry (or feathery, or scaly!) friend. Pets are not for working on a farm or for eating; they are special animal buddies you look after and play with.
