This month we take a look at two meanings of the verb spread.
Spread: to move a soft substance across a surface so that it covers it:
"Spread butter on the bread"
"He spread a thin layer of glue on the paper."
Spread: If information spreads or if someone spreads it, it is communicated from one person to another:
"The rumor spread quickly."
"News of her promotion spread rapidly through the company."
