### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah and in British English, it means grain in general, such as wheat or barley, not maize. Interpretation: Grain was the basic food of life, and Egypt's stored grain saved Joseph's family. The law protects the working ox, which may eat as it treads the grain. In the primary lessons: In science and geography lessons, corn is a crop farmers grow, used for food, animal feed and popcorn. In everyday life: corn on the cob, cornflakes, popcorn, cornflour. In history, corn was a key food of Native American peoples. Phrases: «corn on the cob», «field of corn», «sweetcorn», «popcorn».

Usually uncountable: «some corn», not «a corn» (except the foot sense). The meaning depends on the country: in Britain «corn» can mean wheat; «sweetcorn» or «maize» is the yellow one. In maths, it appears in counting and sharing problems (cobs, rows, kilograms of corn).
