Homework Help: 6th grade vocab

Posted by Noelle on Monday, April 13, 2009 at 5:45pm.

What does the word "predominant" mean? Oh and please don't give me a website with some big def. I am in 6th grade so I won't understand if the def. is big and long. It also helps if you use it in a sentence . . . just saying. :-D

Thanks so much!
