bed
/bed/
When referring to the furniture, we often say "go to bed" without using an article (like "the"). This refers to the act of sleeping rather than just moving toward the piece of furniture. In gardening, a "bed" is specifically a defined area. You can have one large garden or several small flower beds within it. As a verb, "bed in" is commonly used when talking about habits, rules, or physical objects (like new shoes) becoming comfortable and settled over time.
