I’m going to teach you 4 meanings of the verb ‘charge’. First, it is used to show the amount of money that a business or seller asks for a product or service, and that the customer needs to pay.
Example

Second, ‘charge’ is used when the police formally accuse someone of a crime.
Example
He was charged for stealing from the company.
We can also use ‘charge’ to mean add power to a device with a low battery.
Example
I need to charge my phone before we leave. It’s only got 10% left.
Finally, ‘charge’ is used to mean move forward quickly and violently and is often associated with animals.
Example
