A lid is a cover for the opening of a container.
The idea
Use a lid for one and lids for more than one. Put a lid on a container or take it off.
Examples
- Put the lid on the jar.
- The box has a green lid.
- These lids fit the small containers.
- Please take the lid off the pot.
- The lid is next to the bottle.
- We wash the lids after lunch.
