When you call out, you speak loudly to make someone notice you. It's like saying "Hey!" or "Excuse me!" to get someone's attention. You might call out to a friend across the street or to a teacher in a noisy classroom.
Remember, when you call out, make sure to use a clear and strong voice. This will help ensure that the person you are trying to get the attention of hears you clearly and responds promptly.
