film

A film is a moving picture that's shown on TV or in the cinema. It can also refer to a thin layer of something like oil or plastic.

You might use the word 'film' when you talk about going to see a movie at the theater, but did you know it's used in other ways too? For instance, some things are coated with a thin film of protection - think of a plastic bag protecting your food from getting wet. In photography, film is what's inside a camera that captures images. And in chemistry, films can be layers on a surface or even tiny sheets of metal. But probably the most common use for the word 'film' is when you're watching something on TV - it could be a movie, a documentary, or even just a funny clip from YouTube!
