'cot' and 'camp bed' In American English, a cot is a narrow bed for an adult. It is made of canvas fitted over a frame, and you can fold it up. You take it with you when you go camping, or you use it as a spare bed at home. In British English, a bed like this is called a camp bed.
Across is a preposition. It describes the relationship between two persons, places, or things. It is sometimes used with the preposition from. Example: That house is across the street. Cross is most commonly a verb or noun. Crossed is the past tense or past participle of the verb to cross.
The correct phrase is âcross to bear.â âBearâ in this context means âcarry,â and obviously the expression is a reference to Jesus and the events just before the crucifixion. The homophone âbareâ means âto uncover,â as in âto bare oneâs soul.â.
