cupboard
[ˈkʌbəd]
[ˈkʌbɚd]
A cupboard is a tall piece of furniture with shelves and doors where people store things like dishes, kitchen utensils, or food.
In everyday life, you'll often see cupboards in kitchens where people keep their plates, bowls, cups, and pots. They also use them to hide clutter from view, keeping the rest of the room tidy. In some homes, you might find a large cupboard in a hallway that stores things like vacuum cleaners or luggage. Cupboards can be as small as a tiny dish rack or as big as a walk-in pantry – it really depends on what people need to store and how much space they have available.
