Imagine you are walking down a path and suddenly you realize that you need to go back to where you started. This means you need to turn around and walk in the opposite direction, which is called "reverse course". It's like hitting the rewind button on a video or turning a book upside down and reading it from the back. When you reverse course, you go back the way you came from instead of continuing forward. This can happen in many different situations, like when you go on a hike and realize you're lost or when you're driving and need to go back to a place you missed. It's important to know how to reverse course so you can get back to where you need to be.
