Hello,
Can you explain this sentence to me?
"All the shops had their windows blown out in the gas explosion."
Thanks for your help.  |

| Shops are stores (usually small to medium-sized). To have their windows blown out means that the force of the explosion caused the windows in all of the shops to shatter. |

When I understand something I am very glad as if I had a treasure.
Thanks bud. |

Is "small to medium-sized" regarded as a word? |

| No, they are separate words. |
