Do you know the difference between half-staff and half-mast? On land, a flag is flown at half-staff. On a ship, it is flown at half-mast. Both expressions signify mourning or remembrance, and both are hyphenated. We also learned that an ensign, pronounced EN-sun, can be a flag or a naval officer. That means “The ensign lowered the ensign” is a perfectly correct sentence! #LearnOnTikTok #flagetiquette #HalfMast #EnglishLesson IamThatEnglishTeacher #halfmast
