3. One thing for sale in a shop. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/I/item/#m3)

### In the lessons

In maths, items are often what we count, price or group: "5 items cost £2 each" means 5 × 2 = 10. In shops, "items" are the things you buy; express lanes are for a few items. In everyday life, we tick off items on a to-do list or a packing list. In lost property, each item should have your name on it. Phrases: "an item of clothing", "items on the list", "household items", "a news item", "per item".
