It can hold or carry things. It may be made from [[cloth]], [[leather]], [[plastic]], or [[paper]]. Many bags are disposable but some are made to use for a long time. A bag may have one or two [[Handle (grip)|handles]] or a [[shoulder]] strap. Bags come in different shapes and sizes depending on how they will be used. A small bag that can be carried with a single hand is sometimes called a handbag, [[purse]], or [[pocketbook]]. Children can [[suffocation|suffocate]], or stop breathing and die, when they put certain kinds of bags over their heads, due to having the supply of [[oxygen]] cut off. ==Other websites== {{commonscat-inline}} {{stub}} [[Category:Basic English 850 words]] [[Category:Bags| ]]
