Read a random definition: duumviri
A quick definition of creative sentence:
A sentence is what a judge gives to someone who has done something wrong. It's like a punishment. Sometimes the sentence is to go to jail for a certain number of years. Other times, the sentence might be to do community service or pay money to the person they hurt. There are different types of sentences, like ones that are for a specific amount of time or ones that can be changed if the person behaves well.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A sentence other than incarceration, such as community service or victim restitution.
Example: Instead of sending a first-time offender to jail for stealing, the judge ordered them to perform 100 hours of community service at a local charity.
Explanation: A creative sentence is a punishment that is not traditional jail time. It is often used for first-time offenders or for minor crimes. In the example, the judge chose a creative sentence of community service instead of sending the offender to jail. This allows the offender to make amends for their crime while also contributing to the community.
