A wake is a mark made on the surface of the water by a fast moving object like a boat. The wake is made by the water being pushed out of the way as the boat passes through, and the size of the wave can be very large for a large, fast-moving boat. Small things like ducks will also leave a wake as they swim across water.

Wis forWalk

When you walk, you don't go very fast. You always have one foot on the ground. People normally walk around unless they are in a hurry, when they run.

Wis forWall

A wall is a vertical structure usually made from brick or stone. The sides of houses are called walls. Not all walls are part of a building, some are made as a fence around a garden or field. The main difference between a wall and a fence is usually that the wall is solid and the fence you can see through.
