When someone skips, they move forward by jumping and not walking. Skipping is also when you don't do something that you should do.
Skipping can be fun and happy, like when children play. But if you skip something important, it's usually not good.
Examples:
She skips down the path with a smile on her face.
Let's play a game of skips and jumps!
He skips the meeting to go to the park.
The bunny skips through the grass, happy as can be.
I can do five skips in a row!
The little girl skips along, singing a song.
When a sound skips, it stops for a moment and then starts again. Skipping is also when a recording doesn't play smoothly.
If a sound skips, it can be annoying. If a recording skips, it can be frustrating.
Examples:
The music skips and jumps on the old record player.
The video skips and I can't see what happens next.
The stone skips across the water three times.
The skipping sound of the broken CD player drives me crazy.
The skipping music makes it hard to dance.
