How to use "Stale" in context?
When talking about bread, most people would say it is "stale." In other words, the bread has lost its freshness and needs to be eaten soon. However, this is not always the case. Bread can be stale for a number of reasons, such as being left out in the open too long, or being stored in a moist environment. When bread is considered stale, it means that the bread has lost its shape, density, and flavor. It is not edible and should not be consumed.
