Yes, I'm sure. Denotative words refer to their precise, literal meanings, while connotative words carry additional emotional or cultural implications that go beyond their literal definitions. This distinction is fundamental in understanding how language conveys meaning.

Sure! Here’s a simplified version that sounds like a 9th grader might write it:

Denotative words are the exact, literal meanings of a word, like what you find in a dictionary. For example, the word "snake" means a legless reptile. On the other hand, connotative words have extra feelings or ideas attached to them. Like "snake" can also mean someone who is sneaky or untrustworthy. So, denotative is about the direct meaning, while connotative is about the extra meanings and feelings we associate with a word.
