Ail

To ail means to feel unwell or sick, like when you have a cold or a headache. It’s when your body doesn’t feel good, and you might need some rest to feel better.

Examples

• My little brother often ails from a cold when the weather gets chilly.
• When I feel sad, I try to talk to my mom about what ails me.
• The dog looked like it ailed after running too fast in the park.
