1. Tents

   A tent ( (listen)) is a shelter consisting of sheets of fabric or other material draped over, attached to a frame of poles or a supporting rope. While smaller tents may be free-standing or attached to the ground, large tents are usually anchored using guy ropes tied to stakes or tent pegs. First used as portable homes by nomads, tents are now more often used for recreational camping and as temporary shelters. Tents range in size from "bivouac" structures, just big enough for one person to sleep in, up to huge circus tents capable of seating thousands of people. Tents for recreational camping fall into two categories. Tents intended to be carried by backpackers are the smallest and lightest type. Small tents may be sufficiently light that they can be carried for long distances on a touring bicycle, a boat, or when backpacking. The second type are larger, heavier tents which are usually carried in a car or other vehicle. Depending on tent size and the experience of the person or people involved, such tents can usually be assembled (pitched) in between 5 and 25 minutes; disassembly (striking) takes a similar length of time. Some very specialised tents have spring-loaded poles and can be pitched in seconds, but take somewhat longer to strike (take down and pack). Over the past decade, tents have also been increasingly linked with homelessness crises in the United States, Canada, and other regions. Places of multiple homeless people living in tents closely pitched or plotted near each other are often referred to as tent cities.

Examples of Tents in a Sentence

   It's very hard, there aren't enough tents so we're out in the open. There's a lot of rain and we're camping in the mud, we don't know where we can go. We'll probably have to stay here for the winter, that's it. We don't know if we should try and head for Turkey or for Europe, or where. I really don't know, I still don't know.

   There’s a lot of single-issue voters in the Republican Party on this issue, and on the other side, abortion, the idea of big tents for parties, I think, is very important. And right now it’s very strident both ways, and I just don’t think that’s good.
