Increase the range or scope

To make the range of something bigger, especially your ideas, knowledge, or experience.

استعمال کا انداز: to broaden [something abstract]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *broaden* for clearly physical things where *widen* is more natural, for example, saying "They broadened the door" instead of "They widened the door." Another mistake is adding an unnecessary particle, such as *broaden up*, which is incorrect; the correct form is simply *broaden*.

فعل B2 action

Make something physically wider

To make something wider, or to become wider, in real physical size or in how it looks.

استعمال کا انداز: to broaden [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *broaden* instead of the more common *widen* in everyday physical contexts, for example saying "They will broaden the window" where *widen* sounds more natural. Also, be careful not to confuse this physical meaning with the abstract sense used in expressions like *broaden your horizons*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
widen (The most direct physical equivalent; often slightly more common than *broaden* for roads, doors, and similar objects.) | spread (Can describe something becoming wider, but also suggests movement outward in many directions.)
متضاد الفاظ
narrow (Means making something less wide from side to side.)
