How to use "Urgent" in context?
Urgent is not always an emergency. It can also be something that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. When something is urgent, it needs to be taken care of as soon as possible. There are a few things that can make something urgent.
One reason something may be urgent is if it's something that could harm someone. If a patient is having a heart attack and doesn't get medical help, that could be a case of emergency. If a bomb is going to go off and it needs to be taken care of, that would also be an example of an emergency.
