«zone» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. A zone is an area or part of a place that is different from the areas around it or is used for a special purpose. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/Z/zone/#m1)
2. Time zones are areas of the world that use the same clock time. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/Z/zone/#m2)
3. To zone out means to stop paying attention. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/Z/zone/#m3)

### In the lessons

In everyday life and safety: a «no-parking zone», a «school zone» where cars must drive slowly, a «danger zone», a «quiet zone» in the library. In geography, climate zones (tropical, temperate, polar) and time zones divide the world; when you fly to another time zone, you change your clock. In PE, a playground may have zones for different games. In maths problems with time zones you add or subtract hours.

### Examples

- Drivers must slow down in the school zone. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/Z/zone/#x1)
