Public: The word public means the people who live in a place like a city or a country. It can also mean things that belong to everyone and are not just for one person or group. For example, public schools are for all children to go to, not just some. Public lands are places that everyone can use, like parks or beaches. Sometimes, things are not public if they are being used for a special purpose that is not good for everyone, like a prison or a hospital for sick people.
