It is back to school day for students.
It's time to go back to school.
When you go back to school you carry a back pack.
What is a back pack?
A famous Eminem song starts with "guess who's back"? -> Devine qui est de retour?
What is the meaning of "to guess"?
Yes, GUESS is a clothing brand but as a mature student you need to tell the difference between a brand and a noun/verb.
What is a brand?
A brand is a label, a tag that manufacturers place on objects sold. A brand helps you identify the goods (the products). A brand is comprised of common nouns or verbs (Guess East Pack) or made up names (Coca-Cola).
You would never use the brand Coca-Cola as a verb or a noun in a sentence about something else than beverages.
I cannot say "I am coca-coling" or "I saw a great coca-cola flying in the sky the other day".
But you coud definitely use the words East, Guess or Pack to form sentences that have meaning (in another way than as brands).
