Cover something by folding material around
to put paper, cloth, or other material all around something
Padrão de uso:
to wrap [something] (in/with [material])
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes say *"cover a gift paper"* instead of *"wrap a gift in paper"*. Also, *wrap* usually needs a preposition: *wrap it in paper* or *wrap it with paper*, not just *wrap it paper*.
Sinônimos
cover (More general; does not always suggest folding material around the object.)
|
package (Often used for preparing things for mailing or sale, with a more commercial tone.)
|
enclose (Focuses on putting something inside another thing; less about folding material around it.)
Antônimos
unwrap (Means to remove the paper or material that is covering something.)

bandage (More specific to medical use and injuries; does not include warmth or comfort.)
|

3
Finish or conclude something
to finish something, like a meeting, show, or project
Padrão de uso:
to wrap (up) [activity/process]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes think *wrap* here always needs *up*. In conversation *up* is very common (*wrap up the meeting*), but in some contexts people may drop it (*let's wrap the meeting*). Also, do not confuse this with the physical meaning of covering something.
Sinônimos
finish (More general and direct; *wrap (up)* can sound a bit more informal or conversational.)
|
conclude (More formal and often used in writing or official speech.)
Antônimos
start (Means to begin an activity, which is the opposite of finishing it.)
Colocações

Padrão de uso:

Sinônimos
roll (Can refer to various rolled foods; not always made with flatbread like a tortilla.)
|
burrito (A specific Mexican-style wrap with particular fillings; not all wraps are burritos.)
Antônimos
